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.
Ever heard of ATC that have a facility called radar who can assist you in which way to fly and ensure you're at a safe altitude for the area?
