Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the massive white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier is visible far to the east.
Leirvik & Stord
Aerial views of the largest town between Haugesund and Bergen, nestled at the base of steep coastal mountains.
Hardangerfjord Mouth
The entrance to one of Norway's most famous and longest fjords, showing the transition from sea to steep mountain walls.
The Seven Mountains
As the plane approaches Flesland, look for Ulriken and Fløyen, the iconic peaks that guard the city of Bergen.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the mainland mountains. Because this is a very short flight (often under 30 minutes), the plane stays at a relatively low altitude, making the detail of the fjords and mountain farms exceptionally clear. Watch for the 'Bergen Gate' as the landscape transitions into the lush Fanafjorden area.

North Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast North Sea and the distant island of Utsira on clear days.
Austevoll Archipelago
A complex network of thousands of small islands, reefs, and bridges connected by scenic coastal roads.
Marstein Lighthouse
A historic lighthouse perched on a tiny rock at the entrance to the Korsfjorden, visible during the final descent.
Karmsundet Strait
The narrow shipping lane separating the island of Karmøy from the mainland, bustling with maritime traffic.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. This side is also better if you enjoy watching the intricate patterns of the outer island chains. Keep your camera ready as you pass Bømlo for excellent textures of the rocky coastal landscape.
