then what is the problem with continuing to destination as long as you have enough fuel to do it?

Isn't there a lot of cumulus granite "40 miles south east of Zurich"?

It's a long time since my last flight over the Alps, but I seem to recall that between Saronno and Trasandingen the MEA should be 14000 feet. And, during the emergency descent is wise to turn left or right to avoid traffic, and on both sides, the minima and granite don't fall.
