A 1h15m flight from 1,300ft to 13'000ft into the alps. On 26.3.2022 I made a quick trip to the Jungfraujoch (www.jungfraujoch.ch). Jungfraujoch holds the highest railway station in Europe at around 11'300ft. Also just beside is an official glacier "aerodrome" for all the alpine planes.

With the wind situation downdrafts must be expected when flying over the Jungfraujoch. During the flight, I was not able to climb but I could reach the 13k ft which I like for the safe overfly of the Jungfraujoch. The view is always great and it is just a privilege to fly in the alps. Next will be the famouse Mattherhorn.

What a beautiful view - we were actually over there a few years back and met up with Martin. I would have loved to have had my plane with me when we were there!
 
Maybe you can post some pictures. If, you took some.
 
Great pictures!
