I have flown over the Alps about 15 times. Weather permitting, I usually take the route via Linz, Trieste and then - depending on where in southern Europe I need to fly -
If the weather is not so good and the clouds too low, the best solution is to cross the Alps further to the east where they are much lower.
Here you can see a couple of photos which I took during various trips but more are also attached to some of the trips to Italy and the expedition "European Islands from the Skies".
I have been flying gliders since my age of 15 and in 2006 I completed my PPL in Texas, USA. More
