DUS → TRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular, high-altitude view of the Mont Blanc massif and the dramatic western face of the Alps as you descend into the Piedmont region.
Düsseldorf Cityscape
A clear view of the Rhine Tower and the harbor area immediately after takeoff from DUS.
Lake Geneva
The vast, crescent-shaped lake and the Jura Mountains bordering France and Switzerland.
Mont Blanc Massif
Unrivaled, close-up views of the highest peak in the Alps and the surrounding Aiguille du Midi.
Aosta Valley
The steep, dramatic glacial valley that serves as the gateway to the Italian Alps.
Gran Paradiso
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of Italy's oldest national park during the final approach.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route, specifically for the Mont Blanc views. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain peaks. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on the western slopes.
Rhine River Valley
Aerial views of the winding river and the industrial landscape of the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Bernese Oberland
Distant views of the iconic trio: Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau towering over Switzerland.
Monte Rosa
The massive glacier-covered peaks of the second-highest mountain in the Alps.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning view of the deep blue alpine lake as the plane begins its southern descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light reflecting off the Swiss glaciers. It is also the better side for spotting the distinct pyramid shape of the Matterhorn in the distance during the alpine crossing.
