The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the snow-capped mountain range separating the Iberian Peninsula from France.
Massif Central

Moselle Valley
Stunning views of the terraced vineyards and the winding Moselle River during the final approach into LUX.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is the approach to LUX; if the wind is from the west, you will get a perfect view of the Moselle river loops and the vineyards. Watch for the Pyrenees peaks about midway through the flight.
