Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Bern Belp Airport (Bern)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic sequence starting with the Mediterranean coastline, followed by a spectacular pass of the French Alps, including Mont Blanc, and finishing with a view of the iconic Bernese Oberland peaks before landing.
Costa Brava
A stunning bird's-eye view of the rugged 'Wild Coast' and the turquoise bays of northeastern Spain.
Camargue Delta
The vast wetlands of the Rhone delta, famous for its salt pans and unique biodiversity.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, often clearly visible during the transit through eastern France.
Lake Geneva
A massive crescent-shaped lake; you can often spot the city of Geneva and its famous Jet d'Eau fountain.
Bernese Alps
Breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs as you approach the Bernese capital.
This is the 'scenic side' for Alpine enthusiasts. For the best lighting on the mountains, choose a morning or midday flight. During the descent into BRN, look for the deep blue waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz nestled in the valleys.
Montserrat Massif
Distinctive multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range visible shortly after departure from Barcelona.
Eastern Pyrenees
Distant views of the snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
An upland region in south-central France consisting of ancient mountains and extinct volcanoes.
Lake Neuchâtel
The largest lake entirely within Switzerland, seen as the plane descends toward the Swiss plateau.
Jura Mountains
The sub-alpine mountain range north of the Alps, characterized by limestone ridges and lush forests.
Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Catalan interior. Late afternoon flights may experience glare on this side. Keep an eye out for the Rhone River as it meanders through southern France.
