Black Forest

Lake Geneva

The snow-capped massif of Europe's highest peak visible on the horizon.
French Prealps

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Alpine peaks. Watch for the massive Mont Blanc massif about mid-flight. During the descent, you may catch views of the Durance river valley and the foothills of the Alps. Avoid sitting directly over the wing for the clearest view of the mountains.
