Lake Geneva

The distinctive crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man may be visible to the East mid-flight.

Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen forests that give the Schwarzwald its name during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Alps. During sunset flights, the mountains turn pink (Alpenglow). Look out for the Rhine River as it serves as a primary visual marker for the landing at FKB.
