Monte Cinto
Aerial views of Corsica's highest peak and the rugged granite interior of the island.
Cap Corse
The 'finger' of northern Corsica, showing the dramatic transition from mountain to Mediterranean sea.
Ligurian Coast
Views across the sea toward the Italian Riviera and the bustling port city of Genoa.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highlight of the trip: a spectacular view of Western Europe's highest peak and its glaciers.
Lake Geneva
An expansive view of the crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau as the plane turns for final approach.
Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mont Blanc, which appears about 15 minutes before landing. Morning flights provide the best clarity for mountain photography as the rising sun hits the eastern faces of the Alps.
