Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Swedish mountains, including the Åre ski region, and offers the most expansive views of the Trondheimsfjord upon arrival.

Lake Storsjön
The massive 'Great Lake' of Jämtland, with the city of Östersund visible on its shores.
Åreskutan
Sweden's most famous ski mountain, standing out prominently about 40 minutes into the flight.
The Scandes
Breathtaking panoramas of the Scandinavian Mountain range as you cross into Norwegian airspace.
Trondheimsfjord
Spectacular views of the deep blue fjord and the rugged North Trøndelag coastline during the descent.
The right side is best for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated mountain peaks. Keep your camera ready roughly 35-45 minutes after departure for the Åre mountains. If the flight lands toward the east, you will have a spectacular panoramic view of the fjord's entrance and the Frosta peninsula.

Lake Mälaren
Glimpses of Sweden's third-largest lake and the surrounding royal landscapes shortly after takeoff.
Boreal Forests
Endless expanses of the Swedish Taiga stretching through the Dalarna region.
Sylan Mountains
A view of the jagged peaks forming the natural border between Sweden and Norway.
Trondheim City
A direct view of the historic city center and Nidaros Cathedral if the wind favors a western approach.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the mountain horizon. This side is also preferred if you want a closer look at the southern mountain massifs near the border. In winter, keep your window shade open as the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows over the snow-covered Swedish forests.
