Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Swiss Alps and a more direct look at the famous Y-shaped Lake Como during the descent into Bergamo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚀

Lake Constance

The massive Bodensee serves as a landmark bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of the high-altitude glaciers and the famous peaks of the Bernese Oberland.

🏞️

Lake Como

The iconic Y-shaped glacial lake is a highlight during the descent into the Lombardy region.

🏰

Bergamo CittΓ  Alta

The historic walled upper city of Bergamo is often visible just moments before the plane touches down at BGY.

Best for afternoon and sunset flights as the sun illuminates the Alpine peaks. Watch for the dramatic transition from the high mountains to the Po Valley. Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Como's intricate shoreline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights

πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

Jutland Peninsula

Aerial views of the Danish landscape and the transition from land to the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.

🚒

Hamburg Port

The massive industrial complex and winding Elbe river are often visible during the transit of Northern Germany.

πŸ”οΈ

The Dolomites

Spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps appearing as you cross into Italian airspace.

🌊

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake can be seen shimmering to the east during the final approach phases.

Ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Keep a lookout for the distinct jagged silhouette of the Dolomites roughly 20 to 30 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow-covered peaks on this side provide exceptional contrast for photography.
