Hire and Fly Switzerland

[dekalb]

Does anyone know of a place where I can Hire and Fly a plane in the Bern/Zurich area in January 2015? I am planning on doing my EASA PPL and want to then do a flight around the Alps.

Thanks

Hello, I am not sure what Bern does theses day's But a little very busy GA Airfield north of Bern Is Grenchen Great Airfield and they have a very good website and good Flying Club with a lot of history . Look on a Half Mil Map. You mention flying around the Alps you will have to be Mountain Checked they will not let you go unless you are for good reasons.
Good Luck

Thank you for the reply. I will have a look at their website and will ask them regarding the Mountain Check as well. I appreciate the help.

They have a great little airfield, super friendly and a good selection of aircraft all immaculately maintained plus instructors who are qualified in mountain flying.
The club is located closer to Zurich than Bern, so depends on where you are planning to be located.
