BGO β ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the snowy Jotunheimen mountain range and the unique circular geography of Sweden's Lake Siljan during the transition from the mountains to the lowlands.
Jotunheimen Peaks
Distant but clear views of Norway's highest mountains, often snow-capped year-round, located to the northeast of the flight path.
Hardangervidda North
The rugged northern edge of Europe's largest mountain plateau, featuring rocky tundra and scattered alpine lakes.
Lake Siljan
A massive circular lake in Sweden formed by a prehistoric meteorite impact, easily recognizable from high altitude.
Dalarna Forests
The deep, dense green carpets of the Swedish heartland as the plane crosses the border into Dalarna county.
Uppsala Cathedral
During the descent into Arlanda, the twin spires of Scandinavia's tallest cathedral are often visible to the north.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft. This side offers better views of the high-alpine interior of Norway. Watch for the 'Meteorite Lake' (Siljan) about 20 minutes before landing.
Hardangerfjord
Immediately after takeoff from BGO, catch breathtaking views of the deep blue fjord cutting into the coastline.
Folgefonna Glacier
One of Norway's largest mainland glaciers, appearing as a massive white ice field nestled between mountain peaks.
Oslo Distance View
Depending on the exact flight corridor, you can often see the sprawl of the Norwegian capital and the Oslofjord to the south.
Lake VΓ€nern
The northern shores of the largest lake in the European Union are visible as you enter Swedish airspace.
Arlanda Approach
Excellent views of the Swedish countryside and small islands as the plane turns for its final approach into ARN.
Choose the right side if you want the best view of the fjords during the first 10 minutes of flight. Be aware that on morning flights, the sun will be shining directly into these windows, which can make photography difficult due to glare.
