Central Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks along the Swiss-Austrian border, including the Bernina Range.
Lake Constance
The massive shimmering blue expanse of the Bodensee, where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Black Forest
The dense, evergreen-covered hills of the Schwarzwald region in southern Germany.
Luxembourg
The deep river canyons and fortifications of the capital city visible near the border.
Meuse Valley
The winding river and limestone cliffs near Dinant as the aircraft enters Belgian airspace.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic Alpine photography. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are particularly striking between 15-25 minutes after takeoff. Afternoon flights provide the best natural light for this side, illuminating the German landscape and the Meuse River valley during the final approach.
