Switzerland is awesome for this sort of thing, as is Nepal and Tibet.

Try the Pokhara - Jomsom route in Nepal apprx 15min
Awesome scenery. Look out for the runway during the aproach

;DFor some tight mountain flyin', go direct to Bold, Anchorage, Alaska (A13) dirt strip, stay low into the mountain ranges just to the right.  I like to use an amphib or Chopper up there - so many places to set down.  Check out Lake Hood (Water)(beautiful at sunset) fly due West into the mountains.  Alaska is endless mountain beauty (winter scenery).  But all those mentioned above (Nepal, Tibet,  Switzerland, The Rockies (wow!) are truly awesome) "Go North Young Man!!!" ;D ;D ;D
