Black Forest & Swabian Jura
Extensive evergreen forests and the dramatic escarpment of the Swabian Alps early in the flight.
Munich & Bavarian Alps
Clear views of the Bavarian capital followed by the rising wall of the northern Alpine fringe.
Grossglockner View
On clear days, catch a glimpse of Austria's highest peak and its surrounding glaciers in the High Tauern.
Lake Wörthersee
A stunning view of the 16km-long lake, often showcasing its distinct turquoise-green color right before landing.
Maria Loretto Castle
The small peninsula and chapel on the eastern shore of Wörthersee visible during the final seconds of flight.
The right side is essential for Alpine enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the winglet against the snow-capped peaks. During afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent illumination of the mountains and the lake.
