Venetian Lagoon
View the intricate islands and canals of Venice as the aircraft crosses the northern Adriatic coast.
Central Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged peaks near Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Sella Massif.
Lake Garda
On clear days, Italy's largest lake is visible to the west as you approach the Alpine ridge.
Zillertal Alps
Crossing the border into Austria reveals deep valleys and glaciated peaks on the western horizon.
Bavarian Countryside
Rolling green hills and traditional German villages appear during the descent into Munich.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Venice about 15 to 20 minutes after departure. For morning flights, the lighting on the Dolomites is exceptional, providing high contrast for photography. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of the Sella group as you enter the mountains.

Adriatic Horizon
The vast blue of the Adriatic Sea stretches out during the initial climb out of Ancona.
Marmolada Glacier
Spot the 'Queen of the Dolomites,' the highest peak in the range with its prominent glacier.
Grossglockner
Look northeast to see Austria's highest mountain standing out among the Hohe Tauern range.
Chiemsee
Often visible on the right during the approach, known as the 'Bavarian Sea.'
Munich Airport Approach
Sweeping views of the airport complex and the Isar River valley just before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun and enjoy the soft light hitting the Austrian peaks. Watch for the massive peaks of the Hohe Tauern which remain visible for a longer duration than the Italian landmarks. In winter, this side offers the most consistent views of snow-capped ridges.
