GRO β FKB
Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama featuring the Mediterranean coastline upon departure, distant views of the snow-capped Alps, and a final approach over the Rhine Valley and Black Forest.
Costa Brava
Crystal clear waters and rocky coves of the Spanish coast visible immediately after takeoff from Girona.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps create a magnificent eastern horizon.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man may be visible to the East mid-flight.
Rhine River
The major European waterway marks the descent toward the Baden-Baden region.
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.
Pyrenees Peaks
Stunning views of the rugged mountain range and the high peaks of the Spanish-French border.
Massif Central
Fly over the ancient volcanic landscapes and green plateaus of central France.
Vosges Mountains
Rolling hills and dense forests as the aircraft approaches the border with Germany.
Strasbourg
Aerial view of the European Parliament seat and the distinctive urban layout of the Alsace region.
Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French landscape. Watch for the volcanic cones of the Auvergne region roughly 30-40 minutes after takeoff.
