Thank you,
I’ll be landing in Germany next week and driving through Bavaria. Have a lesson scheduled with Seventy2one and
Will try to visit Dassu in Germany and Schaenis in Switzerland.
Appreciate the info:-)

Germany and Switzerland are part of EASA land (which essentially covers all of continental Europe). You probably need to get an EASA licence issued based on your US licence, which would be valid throughout Europe. EASA licences are issued by the national bodies (LBA in Germany, BAZL in Switzerland) and might take more than a week to get.

However, as both Schänis and DASSU are commercial outfits who often deal with overseas visitors, they should be able to advise you. Depending on you experience in alpine soaring and your available time, it might be worth while to go with an instructor anyways and skip the paperwork.
