GDNBGO

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Hel Peninsula shortly after takeoff and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau and the inner fjord systems upon the descent into Bergen.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⏳

Hel Peninsula

The incredibly narrow 35km long sandbar separating the Bay of Gdańsk from the open Baltic Sea.

🇸🇪

Swedish South Coast

Aerial perspective of the Blekinge archipelago and the rolling landscapes of southern Sweden.

⛰️

Hardangervidda

Europe's largest high-mountain plateau, featuring vast tundra and seasonal snow-capped peaks.

💧

Hardangerfjord

Views of the deep, blue fjord arms cutting into the steep Norwegian mountainsides.

🏡

Bergen City Approach

A stunning view of the 'City between the seven mountains' and the historic wharf areas before landing.

The right side is essential for seeing the Hel Peninsula right after departure from GDN. On descent into BGO, this side typically offers a better view of the dramatic mountain plateau. In winter, the contrast between the frozen lakes of Hardangervidda and the dark fjords is spectacular.

🏖️

Tri-City Coastline

Panoramic views of Sopot and Gdynia's sandy beaches as the plane climbs over the Bay of Gdańsk.

🇩🇰

Bornholm Island

Clear views of the Danish island of Bornholm, a rocky gem in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

🌊

Skagerrak Strait

The deep blue waters where the Baltic and North Seas begin to transition near the tip of Denmark.

❄️

Folgefonna Glacier

One of Norway's largest glaciers visible in the distance as you enter the Hordaland region.

🚢

Sunnhordland Archipelago

A complex network of islands and coastal shipping lanes just south of the Bergen approach.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. During the final approach, this side often sees the rugged outer islands of the Norwegian coast. Keep an eye out for the distinctive lighthouse structures on small rocky outcrops.
