Austrian & Bavarian Alps
Spectacular views of high-altitude peaks and glacial valleys during the middle segment of the journey.

The Rhine Valley

Ardennes Forest
The dense green rolling hills of southern Belgium as the aircraft begins its final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid obstruction of the Alpine peaks. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the glare, though the lighting on the mountains is superb. Watch the flight map to time your view of the Alps about 90-120 minutes into the flight.
