Oviksfjällen Mountains
The first snow-capped peaks of the Scandinavian mountain range appearing on the horizon during the descent.
Lake Storsjön
A spectacular view of Sweden's fifth-largest lake, known for its clean water and the legendary 'Great Lake Monster'.
Frösön Island
The historic island where the airport is located, showcasing traditional Jämtland architecture and rolling fields.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun. This side is particularly rewarding in winter when the Oviksfjällen mountains are covered in snow. During the final approach to runway 30, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct shoreline of Frösön.
