Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the iconic Torghatten mountain immediately after takeoff, followed by the dramatic inland mountain ranges of the Helgeland region.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Torghatten

The famous mountain with a hole through its center, visible almost immediately after departing BNN.

🏔️

Heilhornet Peaks

A cluster of sharp, granite peaks rising dramatically from the sea level to over 1,000 meters.

🌲

Namdalen Valley

The lush, forested interior of the Nord-Trøndelag region with winding river systems.

💧

Trondheimsfjord

The deep blue waters of Norway's third-longest fjord during the final descent into Værnes.

Sit on the left for the most reliable view of Torghatten; choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the hole. On morning flights, the sun will illuminate the peaks of the mainland, making for excellent photography. In winter, this side offers the best chance to see the Aurora Borealis over the mountain ranges during evening departures.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Vega Archipelago

A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring thousands of small islands and reefs scattered in the turquoise sea.

🌊

Helgeland Coast

One of the most scenic coastal stretches in the world, characterized by an endless maze of islands.

🛳️

Coastal Shipping Lanes

Look for the Hurtigruten or Havila coastal cruisers navigating the narrow straits below.

🏞️

Fosen Peninsula

The rugged and wild coastline north of Trondheim, where the mountains meet the Atlantic.

The right side is perfect for capturing the 'island world' of the Helgeland coast. Late afternoon flights during summer provide spectacular golden hour lighting over the Norwegian Sea. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you will get a better view of the lighthouses dotting the outer reefs.
