Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a dramatic and uninterrupted panorama of the Norwegian mainland, featuring the highest sea cliffs in Europe, deep fjord entrances, and the jagged peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Hornelen Sea Cliff

Marvel at Europe's highest sea cliff, rising 860 meters vertically from the Frøysjøen fjord.

🌊

Nordfjord Entrance

Look deep into the mouth of the Nordfjord as the aircraft traverses the rugged coastline.

🗺️

Stadlandet Peninsula

Fly over the unique, high-altitude plateau of Stad, a geographic barrier between the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea.

🏔️

Sunnmøre Alps

Gaze at the spectacular, snow-capped jagged peaks that define the skyline of the Møre og Romsdal region.

🌹

Molde and Romsdalsfjord

Catch a glimpse of the 'City of Roses' set against the backdrop of the famous Molde Panorama with its 222 peaks.

This is the premier side for photography. Because this route is served by smaller regional aircraft like the Dash 8, you will be flying at lower altitudes, making the fjord details exceptionally sharp. For the best lighting on the mountains, choose a late afternoon or evening flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Florø Archipelago

View the intricate network of islands and skerries immediately after takeoff from Norway's westernmost town.

🚨

Kråkenes Lighthouse

Spot this iconic lighthouse perched on the rugged northwestern tip of Vågsøy, known for extreme North Sea weather.

🏙️

Ålesund Seascape

From a distance, see the Art Nouveau architecture of Ålesund spread across several islands connected by bridges.

⚓

Hustadvika Coast

View the notorious 10-mile stretch of water known for its many reefs and challenging navigation for coastal vessels.

🌅

North Sea Horizon

The endless blue of the Atlantic horizon is particularly stunning during the long twilight hours of the northern summer.

Sit on the left if you prefer maritime vistas and coastal architecture. On approach to Kristiansund, you may get a better view of the 'Atlantic Road' (Atlanterhavsvegen) if the flight path swings wide over the ocean. Morning flights offer better lighting for the sea-side photos without sun glare.
