HFTBVG

Which side of the plane to sit from Hammerfest Airport (Hammerfest) to Berlevåg Airport (Berlevag)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a continuous panorama of Norway's rugged Arctic interior, featuring deep glacial fjords and the vast, mountainous Finnmark plateau.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Porsanger Peninsula

A stark, moon-like landscape characterized by ancient rock formations and glacial scars.

🏞️

Laksefjord

One of Finnmark's most beautiful fjords with deep blue waters cutting into the tundra.

❄️

Finnmarksvidda

The edge of the vast mountain plateau, often covered in snow ten months of the year.

🏔️

Tanafjord

Stunning views of the rugged mountains that separate the Nordkinn and Varanger peninsulas.

🏠

Mehamn Village

A bird's-eye view of one of the most remote fishing outposts in Norway during the descent.

The right side is superior for geological enthusiasts. Morning flights provide the best shadows to highlight the dramatic topography of the fjords. During the winter 'Polar Night,' the moon reflects beautifully off the snowy peaks on this side. Be ready for a scenic approach into Berlevåg, as the plane often banks steeply over the coastal mountains.

🌊

Barents Sea

Infinite views of the Arctic Ocean stretching toward the North Pole.

🦅

Hjelmsøya Cliffs

Massive sea-bird colonies on the sheer cliffs of the outer islands.

🌍

Magerøya Plateau

Distant views of the island home to the famous North Cape.

🕯️

Slettnes Lighthouse

The world's northernmost mainland lighthouse standing guard near Gamvik.

🚢

Hurtigruten Path

Spot the iconic coastal steamers navigating the choppy Arctic waters below.

Sit here during the summer months to witness the Midnight Sun reflecting off the Arctic Ocean. In winter, this side offers the darkest sky for potential Northern Lights viewing away from the aircraft's internal glow. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of the Nordkinn Peninsula, the northernmost point of mainland Europe.
