Pontarlier Aerodrome Airfield Cam

A Grass Airfield in the Jura

Pontarlier Aerodrome, coded LFSP, is a small grass-strip airfield nestled on the high plateau of the Doubs, close to the Swiss border. The camera captures the full sweep of the field, from the parked light aircraft on the apron to the windsock that marks the active runway.

General Aviation & Gliding

The aerodrome is a hub for general aviation, gliding and recreational flying. Single-engine planes and gliders share the strip, and on busier days you can watch the steady rhythm of take-offs and landings against the mountain backdrop.

The Jura Mountain Setting

Ringed by the forested ridges of the Jura, the field sits at altitude in one of France's most scenic flying regions. The spruce-dark slopes and wide skies make this a memorable spot for pilots and plane-spotters alike.

Pontarlier & the Doubs

The nearby town of Pontarlier is the historic heart of the upper Doubs valley, famed for its absinthe heritage and as a gateway to the Jura's lakes and forests. The airfield offers a bird's-eye introduction to this alpine-edge landscape.
