Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Hagfors Airport (Hagfors)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more varied landscape, featuring the expansive waterways of Lake Mälaren and the urban silhouettes of Central Sweden's industrial belt before transitioning into the dense, lake-dotted forests of Värmland.

Mälaren Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the intricate network of islands and summer houses dotting Sweden's third-largest lake.
Västerås Skyline
A clear view of this historic industrial city, including its skyscraper 'Skrapan' and the busy commercial harbor.
Lake Hjälmaren
To the south, the shimmering waters of Hjälmaren are often visible on the horizon during the mid-portion of the flight.
Värmland Forest Canopy
As the plane descends, the landscape transforms into a deep green tapestry of endless pine and spruce forests.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better contrast for photography. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from agricultural plains to rugged forest about 20 minutes into the flight. In winter, the frozen lakes create unique white geometric patterns against the dark trees.

Uppsala Cathedral
If the flight path departs Arlanda to the north, look out for the iconic twin spires of Scandinavia's tallest church.
Västmanland Wilds
Fly over vast stretches of uninhabited timberland and peat bogs characteristic of the Swedish interior.
Sala Region
The area around Sala is visible, known historically for its silver mining heritage and rural farmsteads.
Hagfors Approach
The final descent offers close-up views of the Uddeholm steel industry sites that define the local economy.
The right side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. Keep an eye out for moose or other wildlife in the clear-cut patches of the forest during the low-altitude approach into Hagfors. This side often provides a better perspective of the rolling hills as you enter the Värmland region.
