CPHMOL

Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Molde Airport (Molde)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most spectacular views of the Norwegian fjord landscape and the famous Molde panorama of 222 peaks during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Zealand Shoreline

Clear views of the Danish coastline and the northern tip of Zealand immediately after departure.

🏔️

Jotunheimen Range

Distant views of Norway's highest mountains, featuring jagged peaks and glaciers.

❄️

Sunnmøre Alps

The dramatic, snow-capped mountains that define the rugged character of the Møre og Romsdal region.

💧

Storfjorden

Massive fjord systems winding through steep valleys as the plane begins its descent.

🏙️

Molde Panorama

The iconic view of hundreds of mountain peaks visible across the water as you land at MOL.

Sit on the left for the best mountain photography. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, perfectly lighting the peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps. Watch for the transition from the flat Danish landscape to the dramatic Norwegian verticality about midway through the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🇸🇪

Swedish West Coast

The rocky archipelago and island chains near Gothenburg and the Swedish coastline.

🚢

Oslofjord

A top-down view of the busy shipping lanes and islands leading toward the Norwegian capital.

💧

Lake Mjøsa

View of Norway's largest lake, surrounded by rolling hills and fertile agricultural land.

🏔️

Dovrefjell Plateau

The high, wild mountain plateau where musk oxen roam, visible as you head north.

⛰️

Romsdalen Valley

The steep, dramatic walls of the Romsdal valley, home to the famous Troll Wall.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the Atlantic. It provides better views of the inland mountain plateaus and the Swedish archipelago. Pay attention to the deep valley cuts of eastern Norway as you fly northward.
