What it is
A short 2016 clip of a Tara Air Twin Otter making an aborted landing and go-around at Lukla's Tenzing-Hillary airport in Nepal. The footage was posted by the Himalayan plane spotter channel, which describes it as the first such go-around by an aircraft bound for Lukla.

Hi guys few days ago a twin otter did make an aborted landing and made a "go around" at the airport and headed back to Kathmandu. This is the first time such an incident happened although there has been numerous crashes in the past. Here is a link to the video.

Tenzing-Hillary airport [LINK] at Lukla was also always said to have no possibility to go around, until this video clearly proved it's not true [this video] . The terrain around Courchevel looks quite similar, so going around is likely possible from similar point.

@Richard Not a touch and go, but missed approach [this video] below tree and roof top level through the village. Indeed a whole new terror.
