Get to know Switzerland from the air. Swiss Flight Simulator puts you in the cockpit over the real Swiss Alps: the terrain is swisstopo's high-resolution elevation model, draped with 10 cm SWISSIMAGE aerial photography and real 3D buildings. Every valley, glacier, lake and village is where it is in reality — fly down the Rhône valley, round the Matterhorn, over the Aletsch glacier or along Lake Lucerne. NINE SWISS AIRCRAFT • Cessna 172 Skyhawk — the classic trainer • Pilatus PC-21, PC-12 NGX and PC-24 — built in Stans • Airbus A320 in Swiss colours • F/A-18C Hornet of the Swiss Air Force • Airbus H125 of Air Zermatt, Airbus H145 of Rega and the Alouette III of Air-Glaciers 30 AIRFIELDS Take off from Zurich, Geneva or Bern, the mountain strips of Samedan and Saanen, military bases like Meiringen and Payerne, or small grass fields across the country. Pick your departure on the map. DISCOVER OVER 250 LANDMARKS Peaks, glaciers, lakes, castles and towns are marked as you fly past. Find them all.
