WOW is right. Thank you for the views.

Thank you for watching

Wow, awsome how did you do the amazing txt appearring behind the trees ?

Thanks, it was quite complicated with several color and luminance mask and som "manual" masking. But basicly the same principle as Greenscreen. Gladly the trees were quite different in color and brightness from the background. Otherwise it would have been a lot more work

Did you avoid the CTR zone on the Vitznau/Lake Lucerne side or get permission to fly?

I'm surprised parts of Rigi, especially towards the north towards Goldau and parts of Zugersee have no restrictions, at least in the federal drone map.

I avoided all the control zones. In canton of lucerne (which is close by) you're not allowed to fly over water. That's the only special restriction i know of in the region. I use the Swiss drone maps app to see all the local restrictions.

Thanks, good to know.

I spent a little over a week in Switzerland, in Bernese Oberland and Vaud.

I mainly flew only in Oeschinensee, when it was relatively few people there. I think because early in the morning, it was still overcast or a lot of fog.

But I skipped chances to fly in Brienzer Rothorn, Niederhorn and Lavaux vineyards as well as Rocher de Naye. Part of the problem in some of these places is that there were a lot of paragliders.

So I had checked with the companies running these venues, the ones selling the cable car and mountain train tickets and they said it was okay to fly.

But I ended up not flying because I didn't want to risk crossing paths with the paragliders. There was also limited visibility. For instance, it took me an hour to get up to Brienzer Rothorn, after waiting an hour at the bottom. Then in an hour, the fog rolled in and covered up Brienzee.

But it's great to hear there are places to fly in the Luzern area, one of my favorite places with Pilatus, Rigi and Stanserhorn all nearby.

Oeschinensee is also still on my list (probably next year).

Yes to avoid the paragliders, you need to go up as early in the morning as possible

The weather can change very fast in the mountains, so use the opportunity when the view is nice

I’m headed to Zurich and Lucerne next month and hoping to get a few snaps in with the mini2. Zurich (from the water) looks to be OK and also Pilatus. after Switzerland heading to Paris and will take the train out to Mont St Michel for a quick flight.

I would check Geoportail, Mont St. Michel is going to have restrictions and from what I could tell from Google maps, you have to park some distance away and hike towards it, where you reach the marshlands.

I don't think you could get close enough to the castle to get good images.

i’ll check out Geoportial. perhaps I’ll still get some interesting far shots if I still try.

I think I found one drone 360 pano in Google Street View and if the location is accurate, the person took it where they're not suppose to fly.

I'm actually planning a trip to Normany myself, though I'm not sure if I will go to Mont St. Michel. I'm looking more at Etretat, which is a couple of hours to the east of Mont St. Michel. That area seems to have fewer drone restrictions. Some good 360 panos of the cliffs and the falaises in Street View.
