Øresund Bridge

Lake Constance
A stunning view of the Bodensee where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Bernese Alps
Panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs as you enter Swiss airspace.
Mont Blanc
The snow-capped summit of Europe's highest peak is often visible on the southern horizon.
Upper Lake Geneva
The eastern end of the crescent-shaped lake near Montreux and the Rhone valley.
Choose a seat in front of or well behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain panoramas. Morning flights are best for photography as the sun illuminates the north faces of the Alps. Watch closely during the final 20 minutes of the flight for the most dramatic terrain.

The Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald mountain range in Southwestern Germany.
Jura Mountains
The distinct limestone ridges and folds marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Geneva Cityscape
Aerial views of the United Nations headquarters and the city center during the final approach.
Jet d'Eau
Spot Geneva's iconic 140-meter tall water fountain in the harbor just before touchdown.
Château de Chillon
If the flight path hugs the northern shore, look for this historic island castle near Montreux.
The right side is best for viewing the Jura Mountains and the city of Geneva itself during the landing sequence. If the wind requires a landing from the west (Runway 04), you will have a front-row seat to the lake and the city's landmarks. Seasonal snow on the Jura in winter makes for excellent contrast.
