At 1690 meters and only 1330 ft long, the Meribel Altiport is considered dangerous due its very slight gradient (almost flat). Airplanes use sloped runways in mountains to decelerate and accelerate quickly upon landing and takeoff.
The lack of slope on this runway means that the airplane may not be able to come to a full stop upon landing should it have a high initial approach speed. Respectively, during the takeoff roll, the airplane will need more time to build speed before lifting off.
