Which side of the plane to sit from Florø Airport (Floro) to Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden (Orsta-Volda)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Sunnmøre Alps and the deep, winding branches of the Nordfjord, offering quintessential Norwegian fjord landscape views.
Nordfjord
Aerial views of the massive fjord system stretching deep into the heart of the mountains.
Davik Mountains
Sharp, snow-capped ridges that border the northern side of the Nordfjord.
Sunnmøre Alps
The iconic jagged peaks and alpine scenery that make this region a world-class hiking destination.
Voldafjorden
The final descent offers a spectacular view of the fjord as the plane maneuvers for landing at Hovden.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers. During the winter months, the snow-covered Sunnmøre Alps are breathtaking, especially during the 'blue hour'. This is a very short flight (approx. 20 minutes), so keep your window shade up and camera ready from the moment the wheels leave the ground.
Bremangerlandet
Witness the rugged, rocky terrain of one of Norway's largest islands immediately after departure.
Hornelen
Look north to spot the highest sea cliff in Europe, rising 860 meters straight out of the Frøysjøen.
Stadlandet Peninsula
The distinctive, flat-topped plateau that marks the transition between the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea.
Vanylvsfjorden
The sparkling waters of the fjord separating the Vestland and Møre og Romsdal counties.
Keep your eyes peeled early in the flight for the sea cliffs. The best light for photography on this side is usually in the late afternoon when the sun hits the western faces of the coastal mountains. Clear days offer views all the way to the horizon of the Atlantic.
