Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

This route offers a spectacular transition from the heart of the Alps to the Mediterranean. The Right Side is slightly superior as it captures the highest Swiss peaks and a more dramatic approach over the Ligurian Sea towards Elba.

Lake Maggiore

Stunning views of the Borromean Islands and the transition from the high Alps to the Italian Pre-Alps.

Gulf of La Spezia

Views of the 'Gulf of Poets' and the rugged coastline leading toward the Cinque Terre region.

Elba Shoreline

A breathtaking low-altitude view of Elba's rugged western granite cliffs and turquoise bays during the approach.

Sit on the right for a chance to spot the island of Corsica on the horizon during the descent. The approach into Marina di Campo is often tight and technical, offering thrilling views of the island's interior valleys and hidden beaches.
