Allgäu Alps
Early views of the German and Austrian border peaks as the plane climbs south-west.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in the distance, showcasing its permanent glaciers.
Écrins National Park
Rugged, high-altitude terrain with some of the most dramatic glacial valleys in the French Alps.
Montagne Sainte-Victoire
The iconic limestone ridge near Aix-en-Provence, famously painted by Paul Cézanne.
The Calanques
Dramatic turquoise inlets and white limestone cliffs south of Marseille during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic alpine scenery. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Mont Blanc massif. During the approach to MRS, the left side usually gets a better view of the Marseille city center and the Old Port if the wind is from the North (Mistral conditions).

Lake Constance
A massive lake bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, often visible shortly after departure.
Zurich and Lake Zurich
Bird's-eye view of Switzerland's largest city and its elongated lake.
Lake Geneva
The crescent-shaped lake with views of Geneva and the Jura Mountains to the north.
Vercors Massif
A stunning 'fortress' of limestone plateaus and deep gorges in the French Prealps.
Mont Ventoux
The isolated 'Giant of Provence,' easily recognizable by its white, bald limestone summit.
Etang de Berre
The large lagoon adjacent to Marseille Provence Airport seen during the final moments of flight.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Great Lakes of Central Europe. If flying in the late afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare. This side is superior for seeing the transition from the rugged Alps into the flatter, olive-grove-dotted landscape of Provence.
