Depart from Innsbruck and take on one of the most spectacular mountain flights Europe has to offer. From the moment you leave LOWI’s narrow Alpine valley, towering peaks, confined airspace and rapidly changing weather will demand careful planning and precise flying. Choose your route across the Alps, monitor the terrain closely and enjoy breathtaking views as you make your way toward southern Switzerland.

Another real challenge begins as you descend toward Lugano. Surrounded by high terrain, LSZA offers little room for error and requires careful energy management, accurate navigation and constant awareness of your surroundings. Prepare for a steep descent, a demanding approach and a thrilling final turn toward the runway. With limited space to stabilize, every decision matters—from choosing the right descent profile to managing your speed and configuring the aircraft on time.

From Innsbruck’s dramatic valley departure to Lugano’s demanding descent and landing, this flight tests every part of your mountain-flying skills. Will you touch down smoothly beside Lake Lugano, or will the Alps force you to go around? Take the controls and discover why LOWI to LSZA is an unforgettable challenge for every simulator pilot. ✈️🏔️

Will you execute a smooth landing in the heart of the Swiss Alps, or will Lugano’s terrain force you to go around?
