Question Clearing the top of the Alps (not literally)

Right, not sure if this belongs in Tech Log but got another one of my weirdo questions that needs answering if that’s ok with you.

Can any of you lucky ducks flying out of Linate (Italy) tell me how high you are by the time you have just crossed the Alps just entering Switzerland on your way to the UK (or equivalent). Are you at your cruise altitude (37,000 ft) or still climbing, say in a 757.

And while I’m here, I’ll be lazy and ask with how much height do you clear the tops of the Alps (on average).

Once again, thanks in advance for any replies.
