Flying to the Alps
Hi everyone,
I am new here (and to the world of flying in general). I recently started to do my PPL, about 20 hours in so far.
I am based in London and I am contemplating the idea of being able to fly my self to go skiing somewhere in the Alps (french or swiss). I am sure that some of you have already looked into it so I am looking for general advise like :
- How practical is it ? What are the best airports / airfields to fly into ? I saw that some resort like Meribel or L Alpe D huez have their own on site.
- What extra ratings should I absolutely get ?
- What kind of aircraft would be the most suitable?
I am still at an early stage of the reflection so any general input is welcome
Thanks!
Sebastien
