CAG โ BSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the iconic Swiss Alps, including the Bernese Oberland peaks and the striking lakes of central Switzerland, along with the Italian Riviera.
Costa Smeralda
Glittering turquoise waters and exclusive resorts of northeast Sardinia during the initial climb.
Genoa & Ligurian Coast
The massive industrial port of Genoa and the colorful villages of the Italian Riviera as the plane moves inland.
Bernese Alps
Stunning views of the 'Big Three' peaks: the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau, usually visible in the distance.
Lake Lucerne
The intricate, fjord-like arms of Lake Lucerne surrounded by Mount Rigi and Mount Pilatus.
Basel Cityscape
A clear view of the Rhine river winding through Basel and the pharmaceutical towers during the final approach.
Sit on the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the best lighting on the Alpine peaks. This side provides a better angle for the 'Cap Corse' finger-like peninsula and the dense cluster of lakes in Central Switzerland. Look out for the distinct blue of Lake Zug and Lake Zurich just before descending.
Sardinian West Coast
Aerial views of the rugged Costa Verde and the pristine beaches of northwestern Sardinia shortly after takeoff.
Regional Natural Park of Corsica
Dramatic granite peaks and deep valleys of the western side of the island of Corsica.
Mont Blanc Massif
Europe's highest peak often appears on the horizon as the flight crosses the French-Italian border.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent shape of Lac Lรฉman and the city of Geneva visible as you enter Swiss airspace.
Jura Mountains
The lush, forested ridges of the Jura range during the final descent into the tri-border region.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the best views of the high French Alps and the transition into the Swiss plateau.
