AJALUX

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the scenic transition from the Mediterranean coast to the majestic Western Alps, offering iconic views of the French Riviera and the Mont Blanc massif.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Gulf of Ajaccio

A stunning view of the rugged western coastline of Corsica and the turquoise waters of the Gulf immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

French Riviera

Distant but clear views of the Côte d'Azur coastline, including the areas near Nice and Cannes as the plane crosses the Ligurian Sea.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

On a clear day, the highest peak in the Alps is visible to the west, showcasing its massive glaciers and jagged granite spires.

🌊

Lake Geneva

The crescent-shaped expanse of Lac Léman often comes into view as the flight enters Swiss airspace, framed by the Jura mountains.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

A scenic pass over the forested ridges of eastern France shortly before the descent into the rolling landscape of Luxembourg.

For the best photography, opt for a morning flight to avoid the afternoon sun glare over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic Alpine peaks. During the winter months, the snow-covered Jura mountains are particularly striking on the approach to Luxembourg.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Monte Cinto

Views of the highest peaks of the Corsican interior, showcasing the island's wild and mountainous heart.

🇮🇹

Ligurian Coast

As the plane heads north, the Italian coastline near Sanremo and the Maritime Alps provide a beautiful eastern horizon.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Distant views of the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in the central Swiss Alps.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald in Germany is visible as the flight path skirts the French-German border.

🍇

Moselle Valley

The winding Moselle River with its steep, vine-covered slopes marks the final stage of the journey into Luxembourg.

The right side is excellent for spotting the high-altitude peaks of central Switzerland. In the late afternoon, the 'Golden Hour' provides exceptional lighting over the Rhine and Moselle valleys. Look for the sharp contrast between the rugged Alps and the flat Rhine plain during mid-flight.
