The Alps

Thanks for the input from everyone even the where all doomed approach. I have flown the Alps a couple of times already VFR and IFR. I will only be doing it if the conditions are right and will have the long way round planned in case the weather is against me.
The sportcruiser is easily able to get to 10000 ft and looking at the Simplon route most of the time you can be well below that and there seem to be airfields on route.
What i am really looking for video or pictures of the Simplon pass route and to know where i can buy a chart with the mountain route on it. I will PM those who have kindl offered help.

Pete
