Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the iconic Seven Sisters mountain range and the majestic inner fjords of the Helgeland coast as you approach Mo i Rana.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

The Seven Sisters

The 'De Syv Søstre' mountain range is the highlight of the trip, featuring seven peaks lined up perfectly along the coastline.

❄️

Svartisen Glacier

On clear days, the massive white expanse of Norway's second-largest glacier is visible to the northeast as you head toward Mo i Rana.

💧

Ranfjorden

A deep, dramatic fjord that guides the aircraft inland toward the city of Mo i Rana, flanked by steep forested mountains.

🏔️

Okstindan Range

In the distance to the east, see the 'Roof of Northern Norway,' featuring the highest peaks in the region and the Okstindbreen glacier.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery. The Seven Sisters appear roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight. Morning flights offer the best illumination of the mountain faces without harsh glare.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Vega Archipelago

A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of thousands of islands, famous for eider duck farming and traditional coastal culture.

⛰️

Dønnamannen

Look for the mountain on Dønna island that resembles the profile of a man lying on his back.

🌊

Outer Helgeland Islands

Distant views of the dramatic peaks of Lovund and the sharp silhouettes of the Træna islands rising from the Norwegian Sea.

🚢

Hurtigruten Path

The coastal express route winds through the narrow straits below; you may spot the large cruise ferries navigating the shipping lane.

Sit on the left for the best sunset views over the Atlantic if flying in the evening. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'hole' in Torghatten mountain immediately after takeoff if the plane circles south first.
