Search flights from AMS to FLR
Jura Mountains
Crescent-shaped mountain range with dramatic limestone ridges.
Lake Geneva
Vast, deep blue lake between the Jura and the high Alps.
Mont Blanc
The snow-covered 'White Mountain' and highest point in Western Europe.
The Matterhorn
Iconic, jagged peak on the border of Switzerland and Italy.
Ligurian Coast
The stunning intersection of the Apennine mountains and the blue sea.
This is the premier side for Alpine geography. Book a window seat well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mont Blanc. In winter, the snow cover makes the topography of the Jura and the High Alps exceptionally clear. Watch for the descent where the plane often passes close to the rugged Ligurian shoreline before turning toward Florence.

The major waterway winding through Germany's industrial and historic heart.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen forests covering the rolling hills of southwest Germany.
Bernese Alps
The massive north faces of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.
Lake Lucerne
Beautifully shaped lake surrounded by steep Swiss mountains.
Milan
A distant view of the sprawling Lombardy capital as you enter Italy.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the Rhine early on. On the final approach to Florence, if the plane circles for Runway 05, you might catch a glimpse of the Florence Cathedral (Duomo) in the distance. Morning light provides excellent clarity for the Central Alps.
