Helicopters in the swiss Alps

Post by Chucky »

I went to Arolla in the middle of the Pennine Alps yesterday. The Swiss army is preparing the famous ski-mountaineering race "Patrouille des Glaciers". It was a good opportunity to see the latest Alouette III which will be withdrawn from service at the end of the year and also to see the new EC635 helicopters.
