Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Jura Mountains and the Mont Blanc massif, the highest peak in the Alps, providing a breathtaking entry into Italy.
Jura Mountains
Long, parallel limestone ridges forming a natural border between France and Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake, with Lausanne and the French Alps in the background.
Mont Blanc
A stunning, close-up view of the 'Roof of Europe' and its permanent snow-capped peak.
Aosta Valley
Deep glacial valleys and rugged terrain as the plane crosses the border into Italy.
Gran Paradiso
The highest peak entirely within Italy, surrounded by a pristine national park.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain lovers. Sit here to see Mont Blanc in all its glory. For the best photography, aim for a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the valleys but low enough to create dramatic shadows on the Alpine ridges. Be sure to have your camera ready as soon as you pass Lake Geneva.
Ardennes Forest
Observe the dense green canopy and rolling hills as you cross from Belgium into Luxembourg.
Luxembourg City
A clear view of the deep Alzette valley and the historic fortifications of the city.
Matterhorn & Monte Rosa
The iconic pyramid-shaped Matterhorn and the sprawling glaciers of Monte Rosa are visible to the east.
The Mole Antonelliana
As you descend into Turin, look for the tall spire of the city's most famous landmark.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy stretching toward the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Swiss peaks. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 15 minutes before landing for the sharp silhouette of the Matterhorn. If the aircraft approaches Turin Airport from the north, this side provides a better view of the city center during the final descent.
