Search flights from CAG to GVA
Costa Smeralda
The luxury coastline of northern Sardinia with crystal clear emerald waters.
Bastia and Elba
The northern tip of Corsica and the historic island of Elba appearing to the east.
French Riviera
Glittering views of Nice, Monaco, and the Mediterranean coastline.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps stands out prominently on the horizon during the trans-alpine crossing.
Lake Geneva
A breathtaking view of the Jet d'Eau and the city of Geneva if the flight approaches from the northeast.
The right side is the clear winner for Alpine enthusiasts. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the French Riviera, followed shortly by the snow-capped high peaks. If the wind favors a Runway 22 landing, you will get a perfect view of the Geneva fountain.

Lake Annecy
The 'Blue Lake' of the Alps provides a scenic landmark just before the descent into Geneva.
