We had a very good flight with a nice landing in the snow. We got enough time to take pictures there. We had a very friendly pilot. She explained during the flight and also offered to take pictures. It was a great experience!

Such a trill to be on top of the mountain in the snow. The view was amazing. I wish I could do it again.
