Search flights from ALF to OSL
Altafjord
Immediate views of the deep fjord and the dramatic surrounding mountains upon departure.
Svartisen Glacier
The second-largest glacier in Norway is often visible as a massive blue-white ice field to the West.
Saltfjellet
The mountainous region marking the Arctic Circle crossing, featuring dramatic granite peaks.
Lofoten Wall
On clear days, the distant but distinct jagged silhouette of the Lofoten islands can be seen across the Vestfjord.
Trondheimsfjord
Aerial views of the winding fjord and the coastal landscape of Central Norway.
The Right Side is the clear winner for dramatic geography. Sit here for the best views of the glaciers and the coastline. In late autumn and winter, the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows over the peaks. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the Svartisen glacier system. Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain below.

Finnmarksvidda
View the vast, undulating Arctic plateau of the Finnmark region shortly after takeoff.
Swedish Border Peaks
Distant views of the high mountains in Swedish Lapland, including the Sarek and Padjelanta massifs.
Lake Mjøsa
Norway's largest lake comes into view on the final descent towards Oslo Lufthavn.
Østerdalen Forests
Dense boreal forests and winding river systems characterising the interior of Eastern Norway.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent during winter nights for potential views of the Northern Lights away from the setting sun's glow. Look out for the expanses of Lake Mjøsa during the last 15 minutes of the flight.
