Which side of the plane to sit from Marina Di Campo Airport (Marina Di Campo) to St Gallen Altenrhein Airport (Altenrhein)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer breathtaking views of the Alps, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Tuscan archipelago, the striking white marble quarries of Carrara, and the high-altitude glaciers of the Bernina Range.
Tuscan Mainland
A sweeping view of the Piombino headland and the rolling hills of Tuscany upon departure.
Apuan Alps
The famous white marble quarries of Carrara, which look like snow from a distance even in summer.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric patchworks of Northern Italy's agricultural heartland.
Bernina Massif
Stunning vistas of Piz Bernina and its surrounding glaciers, the highest peaks in the Eastern Alps.
Engadin Valley
The high-alpine valley containing St. Moritz, characterized by its deep blue lakes.
Säntis Peak
The iconic, jagged summit of the Alpstein massif that dominates the approach to Altenrhein.
The right side is the clear winner for Alpine enthusiasts. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, highlighting the marble quarries and the textures of the glaciers. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Säntis peak; it is one of the most photographed landmarks in Eastern Switzerland.
Capraia Island
A rugged, volcanic island in the Tuscan Archipelago visible shortly after takeoff from Elba.
Ligurian Coastline
Vibrant views of the Italian Riviera as the flight crosses from the sea into mainland Europe.
Lake Maggiore
One of Italy's largest lakes, nestled at the foot of the Alps with the Borromean Islands visible.
Lepontine Alps
Dramatic granite peaks and deep glacial valleys as you enter Swiss airspace.
Western Lake Constance
The expansive waters of the 'Bodensee' appearing just before the descent into Altenrhein.
Sit on the left for better views of the Mediterranean horizon during departure. This side is particularly scenic during the late afternoon when the sun illuminates the Swiss peaks to the east, though you may encounter some glare if the flight path tracks directly north.
