Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden (Orsta-Volda)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled look at the inland glaciers, including the massive Jostedalsbreen, and the dramatic, jagged peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps during the descent.
Bergen Cityscape
Enjoy a bird's-eye view of Bergen's historic center and the surrounding seven mountains shortly after departure.
Inner Sognefjord
Look deep into the fjord branches that carve through the high plateau of Western Norway.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
Catch a glimpse of the largest glacier in mainland Europe, visible as a vast white expanse on the horizon.
Sunnmøre Alps
Experience a thrilling descent past the razor-sharp granite peaks that define the landscape around Ørsta and Volda.
Hovden Approach
The right side offers a direct view of the runway approach nestled between steep mountainsides.
The right side is essential for glacier enthusiasts. For the best lighting on the Sunnmøre Alps, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for incredible mountain proximity.
West Coast Archipelago
View the intricate network of islands and skerries along the Hordaland coast immediately after takeoff.
Sognefjord Mouth
Cross the mouth of the world's longest ice-free fjord, seeing where the deep blue water meets the North Sea.
Hornelen Sea Cliff
Look for Northern Europe's highest sea cliff, rising 860 meters straight out of the Frøysjøen strait.
Coastal Volda
Get a sweeping view of the Volda municipality and its coastal settlements during the final approach.
Sit on the left for spectacular sunset views over the Norwegian Sea on evening flights. This side is also best for viewing the coastal weather patterns and the dramatic transition from open ocean to deep fjords.
