Our Recommendation

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Swiss Alps' highest peaks and the dramatic transition from the Rhine valley to the North Sea coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Swiss Central Alps

Unrivaled views of the Bernese Oberland, including the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau massifs shortly after takeoff.

πŸ’§

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive freshwater expanse where Switzerland, Germany, and Austria meet, visible as you cross the Rhine.

🌲

The Black Forest

Rolling dark green ridges of the Schwarzwald region stretching across southwestern Germany.

πŸ™οΈ

Frankfurt Skyline

Visuals of Germany's financial hub and the massive Frankfurt Airport hub during the mid-flight cruise.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The unique UNESCO-listed tidal flats and the North Frisian Islands visible during the descent into Jutland.

For the best experience on this Northbound route, choose a morning flight to avoid the direct afternoon glare of the sun. The first 20 minutes are crucial for Alpine views; keep your camera ready immediately after the initial climb from Bergamo. In winter, the snow-capped peaks provide much higher contrast and better photographic opportunities.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
πŸ”οΈ

Tyrolean & Dolomites

The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian Dolomites visible to the east.

πŸ’§

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is often visible in the distance during the early ascent phase.

🏰

Bavarian Foothills

The picturesque transition from the mountains to the flatlands of Southern Germany.

βš“

Hamburg Port

One of Europe's largest shipping ports and the Elbe River as you approach the Danish border.

πŸ–οΈ

Kiel Canal

The world's most frequented artificial waterway connecting the North Sea to the Baltic.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing perfectly lit landscapes of the German plains. Look out for the massive wind farms in Northern Germany and Southern Denmark during the final 30 minutes of the flight. If the approach to Billund is from the east, you may also see the original Legoland park just before touchdown.
