Ancien aérodrome de Sallanches Mont-Blanc is a former airfield in Haute-Savoie, France, set in the valley beneath the Mont Blanc massif at an elevation of 1742 feet. As its name declares, it is no longer an active aerodrome, though its runway and location remain of interest to anyone studying historic Alpine airstrips.
This is a disused aerodrome near Sallanches in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of eastern France, sited in a high valley within sight of the Mont Blanc massif. The field's designation as an 'ancien aérodrome' (former aerodrome) indicates it is no longer in operational use, but its runway remains identifiable on the ground and of note to those studying general aviation history in the French Alps.
The site lies at coordinates 45.9498 N, 6.6389 E, close to the town of Sallanches in Haute-Savoie, at a field elevation of 1742 feet amid the mountainous terrain of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, within the wider Mont Blanc valley system.
The field has a single hard-surfaced runway aligned 17/35, lit, with a published length of 2135 feet on the 17 heading and 1946 feet on the reciprocal 35 heading. There is no ILS.
The aerodrome is now disused and no longer operational as an active flying field.
