Lake Thun
Deep blue views of Lake Thun framed by the Niesen and Stockhorn mountains.
The Matterhorn
The distinct pyramidal peak of the Matterhorn is often visible in the distance across the Valais Alps.
Ligurian Sea
The vast expanse of the Mediterranean as you cross the coast near Savona or Genoa.
Corsican Spine
A spectacular view of the entire granite mountain range running down the center of Corsica.
Costa Smeralda
The world-famous turquoise coves and white sands of Northern Sardinia during the arrival phase.
The right side is the winner for the approach into Olbia; you will fly parallel to the Sardinian coastline, offering views of the luxury resorts and hidden beaches. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of Corsica's Monte Cinto. Mid-day flights provide the best sun angle to see the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean water.

Sit on the left for the most direct views of the 'Big Three' Swiss peaks shortly after departure. This side is also better for catching the sunrise over the Apennine Mountains during early morning departures. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for the high-alpine glacial landscapes.
