ARNEVG

Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Sveg Airport (Sveg)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this northern route as it provides a direct view of the iconic Lake Siljan crater and the rolling foothills of the Scandinavian mountain range as you enter Dalarna and Härjedalen.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🚜

Uppland Farmland

Immediately after takeoff from Arlanda, witness the patchwork of golden fields and historic farmsteads of the Uppland province.

🌊

Lake Siljan

The centerpiece of the flight; this massive lake was formed by a meteorite impact 370 million years ago and is the heart of Swedish folk culture.

🌲

Orsa Finnmark

Fly over vast, uninhabited boreal forests that characterize the transition into the deep Swedish wilderness.

🏔️

Sonfjället National Park

On a clear approach to Sveg, you can see the distinctive silhouette of Sonfjället, one of the oldest national parks in Europe, rising in the distance.

Sit on the left for the best photography of Lake Siljan roughly 25-30 minutes into the flight. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the mountains. In winter, the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows across the snow-covered forest canopy.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
✈️

Arlanda Hub

Get a bird's-eye view of Sweden's largest airport infrastructure and the surrounding SkyCity complex during the initial climb.

🛶

Dalälven River

Watch the winding path of one of Sweden's longest rivers as it meanders through the landscape toward the Baltic Sea.

🌊

Gulf of Bothnia

On very clear days, look far to the east to see the shimmering blue waters of the Baltic coastline near Gävle.

🏘️

Ljusnan Valley

During the descent, enjoy views of the Ljusnan river valley and the small clusters of red timber houses typical of the region.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a better perspective of the winding river systems and the distant coastal horizon. During descent, look for wildlife like moose in the clearings of the Ljusnan valley.
