Paris Skyline
Clear views of the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, and the urban density of central Paris soon after departing BVA.
Lake Geneva
A stunning perspective of the crescent-shaped Lac Léman and the city of Geneva at the southern tip.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps passes close to the aircraft, offering incredible views of its glaciers.
Lake Como
Dramatic views of the 'Y' shaped lake's southern branches, Bellagio, and the surrounding villas during descent.
Città Alta
The historic walled upper city of Bergamo is often visible just moments before touching down at BGY.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the Alps illuminated by the sun from the west. Keep your camera ready about 35-40 minutes into the flight for the Mont Blanc fly-by. During the descent, the aircraft often executes a turn that provides a panoramic view of the pre-Alpine lakes.
Book Hotels in Bergamo
Champagne Region
Aerial views of the historic vineyards and rolling hills of the Grand Est region shortly after takeoff.
Swiss Alps Peaks
Distant but sharp views of the Bernese Oberland, including the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs.
Milan Outskirts
As the plane turns for the final approach, the northern metropolitan sprawl of Milan becomes visible.
Valtellina Valley
Glacial valleys and steep ridges of the Rhaetian Alps during the initial descent phase.
The left side is best for seeing the deeper Swiss interior. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the horizon isn't blocked when the pilot banks north of the Alps. This side typically experiences less direct sun glare on morning flights heading southeast.
