Elliott,
Switzerland and Austria seem to be good candidates as well as mountainranges such as the Alps, Pyrenees. I know of some Swiss fighters (109's) that crashed into the mountains.
Bomber Command flew many sorties to Italy and they had to fly over very high terrain. The Stirling for instance had great difficulty to fly over the mountain tops and had to fly around them instead. On more than one occasion they fley into them.
The only trouble would be to find them, unless climbers stumble over them.
