Search flights from ALC to MUC
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the mouth of the Rhone and the city of Marseille.
French Riviera
Distant but clear views of the glamorous Côte d'Azur coastline stretching toward Nice and Monaco.
The High Alps
Spectacular close-up views of snow-capped peaks, including the Matterhorn and the Bernese Oberland massifs.
Bavarian Lakes
Stunning views of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee just south of Munich during the final descent.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Sit here for the best photography of the Alpine glaciers. On the descent into Munich, keep your eyes peeled for a distant glimpse of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, to the south. Evening flights offer spectacular light reflecting off the Alpine snow.

Costa Blanca
Aerial views of the white sandy beaches and the turquoise waters near Benidorm and Altea shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic terrain and rolling hills of South-Central France's ancient mountain range.
Lake Geneva
A stunning view of the crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Lake Constance
Views of the northern shores bordering Germany and the Zeppelin hangers at Friedrichshafen.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is also better for spotting the winding Rhone River as you transition from France into Swiss airspace. Watch for the Jura Mountains during the mid-flight segment.
