Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is generally superior for this route as it offers a prime view of Lake Constance (Bodensee) and a breathtaking perspective of the Pre-Alps and Lake Iseo during the descent into Bergamo.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Rhine River Valley

Aerial views of the winding Rhine as it snakes through Western Germany and towards the Swiss border.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald covers the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.

💧

Lake Constance

A massive view of the 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏔️

Glarus Alps

Deep views into the snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Swiss Alps as you cross into Italian airspace.

🛶

Lake Iseo

During the final descent, catch a glimpse of this stunning Italian lake and its famous island, Monte Isola.

On morning flights, the sun is on the left side initially, which can cause glare; however, as the plane turns south, the lighting improves significantly for photos of the Alps. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Constance, which is the highlight of the mid-flight segment.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Eifel & Ardennes

Early in the flight, observe the ancient, volcanic landscapes stretching across the German-Belgian border.

🇫🇷

Vosges Mountains

Distant views of the rounded peaks of the Vosges range located in eastern France.

❄️

Bernese Oberland

On clear days, the iconic peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau are visible in the Swiss distance.

🚤

Lake Como

Depending on the landing pattern, the Y-shaped Lake Como may be visible to the west during descent.

🏰

Bergamo Città Alta

A spectacular view of the historic medieval walled city on the hill just before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Alps. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight; if the plane approaches from the west, the right side offers a perfect view of the historic 'Città Alta' (Upper Town) of Bergamo.
