Panoramic views of the inner fjord system and the city of Alta immediately following departure.
Finnmarksvidda Plateau
The immense mountain plateau stretching toward the horizon, often dotted with reindeer herds in the winter.
Tana River Delta
A stunning view of the vast river delta where the Tana River meets the Tanafjord, featuring shifting sandbanks.
Varangerfjord Coast
Excellent views of the southern coastline of the Varanger Peninsula and the distant shores of the Kola Peninsula on clear days.
The right side is ideal for capturing the intricate patterns of the Tana River delta mid-flight. In winter, this side is better for spotting the low Arctic sun or the moon over the plateau. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of the Alta river system.
