🏔️

Norwegian Highlands

The first glimpse of Norway's dramatic terrain, featuring snowy peaks and the start of the fjord systems.

The right side is essential for seeing the Swedish coast. On a clear day, you can often see the Öresund Bridge in the distance. As you descend into SVG, the right side typically offers the most dramatic views of the mountainous Ryfylke region and the entrance to the Lysefjord.

Left Side Highlights

🏖️

Hel Peninsula

A stunning view of the 35km-long curved sandbar immediately after departure from Gdańsk.

🇩🇰

Bornholm Island

The isolated Danish island in the Baltic Sea, known for its round churches and rocky coastline.

North Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the open sea with various cargo ships and occasional offshore wind farms.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best view of the Hel Peninsula during takeoff from Runway 29. During the final approach to Stavanger, you may see the famous sandy beaches of Jæren if the wind requires a northern landing.
