Hamburg & Elbe River
Spectacular views of Germany's largest port and the winding Elbe river shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald covers the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Bernese Oberland
Unrivaled views of the 'Big Three': the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks, along with the Aletsch Glacier.
Monte Rosa Massif
As you cross into Italy, the massive snow-covered peaks of Monte Rosa dominate the western horizon.
Lake Maggiore
A breathtaking view of the Borromean Islands and the town of Stresa during the final approach into MXP.
The right side is significantly better for the final approach, as flight paths into Malpensa often track directly south over the center of Lake Maggiore. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sun setting behind the Alps to the west, creating a dramatic silhouette of the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa.

Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge-tunnel link between Denmark and Sweden is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Leipzig and Thuringia
Clear views over the industrial and historical landscapes of Eastern Germany.
Bernina Range
Glaciated peaks of the Eastern Swiss Alps, including Piz Bernina, the highest peak in the Eastern Alps.
Lake Como
The iconic Y-shaped lake and its surrounding luxury villas are visible during the initial descent phase.
Sit in front of the wing for the best views of the high Alpine glaciers. Morning flights provide excellent direct light on the eastern faces of the mountains, making the snow peaks sparkle. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of Lake Como as you begin your descent into the Po Valley.
