Cap Corse
The long, mountainous 'finger' of northern Corsica stretching out into the Ligurian Sea.
Italian Riviera
The rugged coastline near Genoa and the colorful seaside towns of the Ligurian coast.
The Dolomites
The iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the South Tyrol region, offering some of Europe's most dramatic mountain scenery.
Grossglockner
As you enter Austrian airspace, look for the pyramid-shaped peak of Austria's highest mountain in the Hohe Tauern range.
Salzburg Fortress
If landing from the north, catch a glimpse of the Hohensalzburg Fortress perched above the old town.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 35-45 minutes into the flight as you cross from Italy into Austria; the transition from the Po Valley to the high Alps is breathtaking. Morning flights provide the best light for the Dolomites.
