Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (Lyon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the Mont Blanc massif and the stunning glacial lakes of the French Prealps.
Mont Blanc
A spectacular close-up view of Europe's highest peak and the Aiguille du Midi.
Lake Annecy
The vibrant turquoise waters of one of Europe's cleanest and most scenic lakes.
Lake Bourget
France's largest and deepest natural lake, bordered by the Mont du Chat.
The Matterhorn
On clear days, the iconic pyramid peak is visible in the distance to the north.
Jura Mountains
The distinctive folded ridges and dense forests marking the border area.
Sit several rows behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mont Blanc. Winter flights provide the most dramatic snow-covered scenery, while late afternoon flights offer a beautiful golden glow on the peaks.
Po Valley
Aerial views of the fertile Italian plains and the winding Po River shortly after takeoff.
Gran Paradiso
The rugged peaks of Italy's oldest national park, home to the Alpine ibex.
Grenoble
The 'Capital of the Alps' visible in its distinct Y-shaped valley confluence.
Massif des Écrins
Expansive views of the southern glaciers and the Barre des Écrins peak.
Isère Valley
Lush vineyards and agricultural landscapes as you approach the Rhône-Alpes region.
Choose a morning flight for the best front-lighting on the southern Alpine faces. Keep an eye out for the Vercors Plateau's limestone cliffs during the descent into Lyon.
