Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Vilhelmina Airport (Vilhelmina)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of Sweden's inland lake systems, including the famous Lake Siljan, and provides a front-row seat to the rising Scandinavian mountain range as you approach the subarctic north.
Lake Mälaren
Immediately after takeoff, view the intricate archipelago and islands of Sweden's third-largest lake.
Lake Siljan
The striking circular lake formed by a meteorite impact in the heart of the Dalarna region.
Scandinavian Mountains
Stunning vistas of the 'Fjällen' range visible on the western horizon during the latter half of the flight.
Taiga Wilderness
Vast, untouched boreal forests and bogs characteristic of the Jämtland and Västerbotten interior.
Lake Volgsjön
A beautiful lakeside view of Vilhelmina town during the final descent and approach.
Sit on the left for the best morning light without direct sun glare. In winter, this side is excellent for spotting the soft pink 'Alpenglow' on the distant peaks. During evening flights in late autumn or winter, keep an eye out for the Northern Lights once the sun sets.
Uppsala Skyline
Look for the historic cathedral and castle shortly after departing Arlanda.
Bothnian Coastline
Glimpses of the Baltic Sea and the rugged High Coast area far to the east.
Ångermanälven River
The massive river system winding through the valley like a silver ribbon.
Vilhelmina Parish
A clear view of the historic 'Kyrkstad' (church town) as the plane prepares to land.
Choose the right side if flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun on the west. This side is particularly scenic during the summer 'Midnight Sun' months when the landscape is bathed in a perpetual golden light.
