It's not all that bad really. The 18% inclination slows a landing plane down very effectively, and helps the taking off plane to gain speed. Courchevel is a very fancy and expensive ski resort, that has some very VIP people flying in day in, day out. In general, France is a rich western country that wouldn't dream of allowing any of its cities to run an airport that wouldn't be in compliance with IATA standards.
