Which side of the plane to sit from Florø Airport (Floro) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the Norwegian coastline to the massive inland mountain ranges, featuring the mouth of the Sognefjord and the peaks of Stølsheimen.
Stølsheimen Mountains
Rugged mountain plateaus and snowy peaks that dominate the inland horizon to the east.
Sognefjord Entrance
A spectacular view across the mouth of the world's longest and deepest ice-free fjord.
Nordhordland Valleys
Lush, forested valleys and narrow inland waterways that characterize the approach to Bergen.
Bergen Seven Mountains
On final descent, views of the iconic mountains like Ulriken that surround the city of Bergen.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. For morning flights, this side will be brightly lit by the rising sun, highlighting the relief of the fjords. During winter, look for the contrast between the dark sea and the snow-covered inland peaks.
Florø Archipelago
The maze of islands and skerries immediately surrounding the departure point.
Stabben Lighthouse
An iconic Norwegian lighthouse situated on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea path.
North Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Atlantic horizon and the outer fringe of the Norwegian coast.
Coastal Shipping
Frequent sightings of the Hurtigruten or coastal cargo ships navigating the narrow 'Indreleia' lane.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. It provides a better perspective of the 'Skerry Guard,' the protective belt of thousands of islands along the coast. Watch for offshore supply vessels heading to oil fields.
