Dinaric Alps
Rugged karst landscapes and deep valleys of the Balkan interior shortly after takeoff.
Italian Dolomites
The dramatic, vertical limestone peaks of South Tyrol, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Bernina Range
High-altitude glaciers and the easternmost 4,000-meter peaks of the Alps.
Lake Zurich
A long, sweeping view of the lake and the gold coast during the final approach into ZRH.
Choose the left side for the best lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you or to the side. This side provides a more direct view of the spectacular Dolomite formations in Northern Italy. During the landing phase, if the wind is from the west, you will get a perfect view of the city of Zurich and the entire length of the lake.

Zagreb Panorama
The Croatian capital is often visible to the north shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Julian Alps
Views of Mount Triglav and the snow-capped Slovenian peaks to the north.
Grossglockner
Distant views of Austria's highest peak and the Hohe Tauern range.
Appenzell Alps
The rolling green hills and Santis peak as the flight enters Swiss airspace.
The right side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Austrian and Slovenian Alps. It avoids direct southern sunlight during the day, reducing window glare for photographers. Look out for the Black Forest on the horizon if the flight takes a more northerly approach into Zurich. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Julian Alps particularly striking from this side.
