Boreal Forest
The endless green carpet of the Taiga stretching towards the horizon as you head into the northern interior.
Scandinavian Mountains
The snowy peaks of Sarek and Stora Sjöfallet National Parks visible in the far west during clear weather.
Lake Storsjön
Sweden's fifth-largest lake near the city of Östersund, often visible mid-flight.
Vindelälven
One of Sweden's last free-flowing national rivers cutting through the rugged landscape.
Dundret
The massive fell overlooking Gällivare, which becomes very prominent during the landing phase.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best views of the Scandinavian mountain spine. In winter, this side is ideal for catching the low-hanging sun or potential aurora borealis on late evening flights. As you descend into Gällivare, the iconic Dundret mountain will be clearly visible on this side.
