Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of the Scandinavian mountain spine and the sharp transition from the Swedish forests to the rugged Norwegian peaks and glaciers as you approach the west coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Uppland Scenery

Aerial views of the historic Uppland province and the suburban outskirts of the Greater Stockholm area.

⛰️

Jotunheimen Horizon

To the north, the highest peaks of Norway, including Galdhøpiggen, can often be seen piercing the clouds on the horizon.

🏔️

Hallingskarvet Range

A massive, high-altitude mountain ridge that stands out prominently as you cross into the Norwegian interior.

❄️

Hardangerjøkulen

A spectacular view of the circular glacier near Finse, famously used as the filming location for the ice planet Hoth.

🚢

Bergen Archipelago

As the plane banks for landing at Flesland, view the numerous islands, bridges, and shipping lanes surrounding Bergen.

The right side is superior for seeing the highest mountain ranges and the 'Hoth' glacier. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on the snow-capped peaks to the north. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain transitions.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Lake Mälaren

Soon after takeoff, you see the intricate waterways and islands of Sweden's third-largest lake stretching west from Stockholm.

🌲

Värmland Forests

Dense Swedish woodlands and thousands of small lakes dominate the view during the mid-flight crossing of central Sweden.

🏔️

Hardangervidda Plateau

A vast, treeless mountain plateau that is Northern Europe's largest, featuring iconic arctic-like tundra landscapes.

🧊

Folgefonna Glacier

On clear days, the white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier is visible to the south during the descent.

🌊

Hardangerfjord

Dramatic views of one of Norway's longest fjords with steep cliffs dropping into deep blue water just before landing.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights as the sun is in the south. This side is better for spotting the expansive plateau of Hardangervidda. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the fjord depth during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
