BRN → EBA
Which side of the plane to sit from Bern Belp Airport (Bern) to Marina Di Campo Airport (Marina Di Campo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Bernese Oberland's 'Big Three' (Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau) shortly after takeoff, followed by the Tuscan coastline during the descent into Elba.
Bernese Giants
Unobstructed views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks rising dramatically as you climb out of Bern.
Aletsch Glacier
The largest glacier in the Alps, visible as a massive river of ice cutting through the Valais region.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning aerial perspective of the Borromean Islands and the transition from the Alps to the Italian plains.
Milan & Lombardy
The sprawling metropolitan area of Milan and the flat, fertile expanse of the Po Valley.
Tuscan Riviera
The coastline near Livorno and the famous white beaches of Vada appearing just before the final descent.
Gorgona Island
The northernmost island of the Tuscan Archipelago, often seen clearly during the approach to Elba.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alpine peaks. Ensure you look out within the first 10-15 minutes of flight to catch the Jungfrau region. During descent, this side provides the best perspective of the Italian mainland meeting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Lake Thun
Deep turquoise waters framed by the Stockhorn mountain range immediately after departure.
Western Alps
Distal views of the Matterhorn and the Mont Blanc massif appearing on the horizon.
Gulf of Genoa
Where the Apennines meet the Ligurian Sea, offering a beautiful contrast between blue water and rugged cliffs.
Cap Corse
The northern 'finger' of Corsica is frequently visible across the water on clear days.
Capraia Island
A rugged, volcanic island passing closely as the aircraft turns toward the Marina di Campo approach path.
Monte Capanne
The highest peak on Elba, dominating the view as you bank to line up with the island's short runway.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the sun. It offers a more maritime-focused view once past the Alps. On the final approach into EBA, keep your camera ready for the dramatic coastline of western Elba.
