Rhine River Valley
Aerial views of the winding river and industrial landscape south of Duesseldorf.
Vosges Mountains

Alpine Skyline
On clear days, the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps are visible on the distant eastern horizon.
Rhone Valley
The corridor of historical towns and vineyards following the river toward the south.
Mont Ventoux
The isolated 'Giant of Provence' peak rising dramatically from the surrounding plains.
Camargue Wetlands
The vast delta and salt marshes home to wild horses and flamingos just before landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to capture the sunlight hitting the Alps to the east. Look for the distinct white peak of Mont Ventoux approximately 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Alps and the green valley is striking.
