* Suggested plane: C172 or C182 | |||
* This is VFR only, so pick suitable weather. There are no usable navaids for this trip. | |||
* Trip takes around 45 minutes air time at 110 KTAS. | |||
* Climb to at an altitude of about 10000ft or so after starting from Zell am See. | |||
* After starting fly into the valley southwest over the town of ''Kaprun''. Maybe you need to circle a bit to gain altitude, near the mountains we need at least about 10000ft! | |||
* Follow the valley until you overfly two lakes (''Stausee Wasserfallboden'' and ''Moorboden''). To your left you can see ''Mt. Großes Wiesbachhorn'' (3564m). | |||
* The end of the valley goes over into a flank of the ''Großglockner'' which is near to the south. Follow the west bend of the valley end and fly over the lakes ''Tauernmoossee'' and ''Weißsee''. After you climb out of the valley, you already should see the peak of ''Mt. Venediger'' on the front left. Aim to the saddle right of its peak. | |||
* You then fly that direction over several valleys that go from south to north, until you hit the very big valley that bend from south to west. The ridgeline right of that valley is the border between the Austrian states Tirol and Salzburg. Follow the valley up to the ''Venediger'', passing the ''Mt. Sandebentörl'' (2751m), still aiming for the saddle. | |||
* Shortly after you reach the end of the valley and need to overfly the saddle with the glacier ''Venedigerkees'' behind it. The ridgeline is again the border between Tirol and Salzburg. Directly south of the ''Venedigerkees'' is the pyramid of ''Mt. Venediger''. | |||
* Follow ''Venedigers'' ridge to the southwest, skip the first valley and overfly the next ridge. | |||
* From here you can deviate into the valley north and visit the ''Krimmler Wasserfälle'', and from there west trough the main valley. | |||
* If you instead follow the planned route westwards, aim to the peak of ''Mt. Zillerplattenspitze'' (3148m) with the small lake ''Eissee'' to its south flank which you should already see. This is a little hard to get right, but don't fly directly into the big valley but aim right to the second row mountain peaks at about 280 heading. | |||
* Overfly the ridge with ''Eissee'' and follow the valley from there nothwest with the reservoir ''Zillergründl'' and ''Mt. Reichenspitze'' (3303m) to its right; until you reach the town ''Mayrhofen'' where the current valley meets the ''Zillertal'' valley. You also should start to descend now to about 3500ft with a rate of roughly -1000fpm. | |||
* From ''Mayrhofen'' follow the ''Zillertal'' valley north and when reaching the ''Inntal'' valley near the town ''Jenbach'', Innsbruck Airport is a few minutes to the west. If you like, you can divert north at ''Jenbach'' to visit ''Achensee'', and even continue further north to land at Munich via lake ''Tegernsee'' or via the Isartal over ''Bad Tölz''. | |||
