Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the high Swiss Alpine peaks and the western edge of the Black Forest, providing dramatic contrast between mountain ranges and river valleys.
Lake Como
Shortly after takeoff, view the western branch of this iconic Y-shaped glacial lake surrounded by steep mountains.
Swiss High Alps
Breathtaking views of the Bernese Oberland, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs to the northwest.
Lucerne & Lake Lucerne
The complex shoreline of Lake Lucerne is often visible as the flight transitions into central Switzerland.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald stretch across the horizon as you enter German airspace.
The Rhine River
Follow the silver thread of the Rhine near Strasbourg, marking the natural border between France and Germany.
Book an early morning flight to see the sunrise reflecting off the Alpine glaciers. Sit in the front half of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't obstruct your view of Lake Como during the steep initial climb.
Lake Iseo
Visible to the northeast of Bergamo, featuring Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Central Europe.
Bernina Range
The highest peaks of the Eastern Alps, featuring Piz Bernina and expansive glacial fields.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet is a major landmark mid-flight.
Swabian Jura
The rugged limestone plateau of Southern Germany provides a textured landscape of cliffs and forests.
Hunsrück Landscape
During the descent into Hahn, view the rolling hills, deep valleys, and scattered medieval villages of the Rhineland.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Swiss peaks and Lake Constance without glare. Watch for the Rheinfall near Schaffhausen if the flight path stays slightly east.
