Which side of the plane to sit from Hagfors Airport (Hagfors) to Torsby Airport (Torsby)?

Our Recommendation
6.8

Left Side of the Plane

On this extremely short 'puddle-jump' across Värmland, the left side offers a more scenic perspective of the southern lake systems and the transition into the Fryksdalen valley.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌲

Värmland Wilderness

Endless stretches of dense boreal forest that define the heart of central Sweden.

💧

Lake Velen

A long, narrow lake situated south of the flight path, providing beautiful reflections on clear days.

🏠

Traditional Red Cottages

The landscape is dotted with iconic Falu-red wooden farmsteads in small forest clearings.

📉

Fryksdalen Approach

As you descend into Torsby, you get a glimpse of the rolling valley terrain leading toward Sunne.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during the short midday hops. Because the flight is so low-altitude, you can spot smaller wildlife in the forest clearings if you look closely. Keep your camera ready from the moment of rotation, as the flight lasts barely 15 minutes.

Right Side Highlights
6.3
🏭

Hagfors Industrial Heritage

Immediate views of the Hagfors steelworks and town infrastructure upon takeoff.

🐍

Klarälven Meanders

To the north, you can see the distinctive winding curves of the Klarälven river cutting through the valley.

⛰️

Värmullåsen Hill

A prominent local peak near Hagfors that provides a sense of the region's rugged elevation.

The right side is excellent for seeing the industrial layout of Hagfors immediately after departure. During winter, look for the frozen patterns on the smaller ponds and the Klarälven river to the north. Morning flights offer the best lighting on this side.
