Mont Blanc
Peerless, close-up views of the highest peak in Europe and its surrounding glaciers.
Lake Annecy
Known as the cleanest lake in Europe, its brilliant turquoise waters stand out against the mountains.
Gran Paradiso
The wild, jagged peaks and glaciers of Italy's oldest national park in the Aosta Valley.
Tuscan Countryside
Quintessential views of golden hills, cypress-lined paths, and rustic villas during the descent.
The right side is the 'Mont Blanc' side; look out for the summit roughly 45 minutes into the flight. On the final approach into Peretola (FLR), which is known for its steep descent, you may catch a glimpse of the Duomo if the plane approaches from the north. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular 'golden hour' lighting over the Tuscan hills.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight and glare. This side is better for spotting the unique geography of the Italian Lake District. For the best photography of the peaks, ensure your window is clean before takeoff, as condensation often forms over the cold Alps.
