This invigorating flight, which connects the lakes of northern Switzerland, will take you to some of the most beautiful scenes in all of Europe.<\/p>\n

This route stitches together immersive vistas of nature, the man-made, and unique fusions of the two.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll explore these sights in a Cessna 172 G1000, ideal for this journey due to the wide field of view its cockpit offers and its solid performance in navigating the skies.<\/p>\n

Assistance on the trip will be available in the form of a ‘Back on Track’ button on the VFR Map — however, be advised that using this will disable achievements tied to the activity.<\/p>\n
