Trying to plan a VFR trip through the Swiss Alps.

Good Evening.

 

I am here to ask for a little help. Every Saturday morning (1400z), a group of pilots from my VA enjoy some VFR flying and we are interested in planning 2-hour VFR flight through the Swiss Alps.

 

Being that most of us are from America, we are not familiar with the VFR rules or Swiss airspaces. We are trying to gather information so that we can do this properly. Can one of you please point me to a resource in English for planning this trip?

 

We would love to come visit. More importantly, would like be welcome back after we're done.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thank you,

Sounds great indeed,

This link may be of some use;

http://www.swissfir.org/index.php?menu=1

 

They are all there to help and they sure will!

The system used will primarily involve visual reference points like with a normal real world PPL with entry and exits points, but speak to the people on the contact page and they will help you out the best!!!
