Rhine Valley
The winding river and vineyard-covered hills of the Middle Rhine region shortly after departure.
The Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald stretching across southwestern Germany.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive freshwater lake where the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland converge.
Appenzell Alps
The dramatic Säntis peak and the rugged limestone massifs of eastern Switzerland.
Lake Iseo
A stunning, smaller glacial lake featuring Monte Isola, visible during the descent into Bergamo.
Sit on the left for the best perspective of the high Alpine peaks and the Rhine's eastern bank. On morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; afternoon flights offer much better lighting for photography. Look for the massive 'Säntis' mountain as a landmark for entering the Alps.

Lake Como

The right side is the 'climax side' for this route. While the left side is more consistent, the right side offers the spectacular descent past Lake Como. If the plane lands from the east, you will have a perfect view of Bergamo's Upper City. In the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, making it very bright.
