If you really want to fly through some stunning scenery and can justify it fly down to Switzerland and go through the Alps. Montreaux, Sion, Brigg, Simplon pass, Dommodossola stunning; Goldau, Gotthard, Lugano even better. Stay at Il Sol de Ranco on Lake Maggiore. Then come back more west via Aosta and drop into Courchevel altiport. Take a good camera!

Lots of caution though. Very weather dependent; great info on pass status from Swiss GAFOR system. Watch your acft weight and don't plan a tight schedule so you can accomodate weather delays without stress. Strongly advise mountain flying course before you go, particularly if inexperienced.
