Flight Samedan - Maloja - Lago di Como - Lugano

The return flight we did through Italy. After a few pics @ LSZS we took off RW03 and climbed all the way, continuing at downwind up to 7500ft. We reported at W, and left the frequency shortly after. At Maloja we performed another orbit and took some pictures, it was a funny site as this is where my my CH ancestry comes from. We continued at 7500, though there is a huge drop after Maloja pass.

Over Maloja and Silssee

We also realized that it was going to get really hazy and not very visible when getting to Lago di Como. At Chiavenna we turned left towards Gordina and onto Lago di Mezzoca, where we started our decent to 4000ft, to be reached at Menaggio. Unfortunately Lake Como was very hazy, usually beautiful scenery. At Menaggio we turned right onto Porlezza, tuned into LSZA ATIS and before reaching Lugano lake contacted LSZA tower and requested landing. We reported again at E, and were told to join downwind as a Fly Baboo was also approaching. We extended our base and made a long final, before touching down at LSZA.
