Summer holidays slowly nearing an end?

Les Eplatures – LSGC (Charts | Scenery)
As you fly through the tortuous peaks and valleys of the signature Jura mountain chain, you will find nestled among the hills a unique and iconic airport; Les Eplatures. This daunting aerodrome boasts both a short runway and challenging elevation renowned the world over for its complexity and enchanting beauty. Whether through the windscreen of a GA aircraft or the champagne glasses of a bizjet, enjoy views of the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds and the whole of the Swiss Plateau.
Geneva - LSGG (Charts | Scenery)
As the second largest airport in Switzerland, “Minor Airport” is maybe a stretch but this valuable addition is a true jewel of the Romandy. Adorned with views the scenic Lake Geneva and both the Jura and Alpine ranges, Geneva is an ideal bookend for your journey across the region. With a long runway and impressive apron, this busy hub is eager to please and awaits your visit.
Sion - LSGS (Charts | Scenery)
The Rhone valley is home to more than just breath-taking views and skiing destinations; surrounded by the towering peaks is Sion airport. So, take your favourite GA aircraft and enjoy VFR flying and unique views, or perhaps opt for a bizjet and tackle the steep IGS or winding RNP approaches. But with a tight apron and narrow taxiways, best leave your airliners at home and be sure to have your charts on hand.
This edition really is one for the photographers among us, with scenic sights and unmatched scenery truly showing some of the best this region has to offer. So if you are up for a challenge, a photo and maybe a sunburn, join us this Sunday afternoon for a flight to remember!
