Southern French Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of the snow-dusted Provencal and Maritime Alps as the flight tracks northeast.
Lake Garda
The deep blue expanse of Italy's largest lake, often visible as a shimmering sapphire framed by steep mountain walls.
The Dolomites
Iconic UNESCO-listed peaks known for their unique pale vertical walls and dramatic spires in Northern Italy.
Julian Alps
The final mountain range before descending, featuring Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is superior for mountain enthusiasts, as you will typically track north of the main Mediterranean coast, providing consistent views of the highest Alpine ridges.
