Which side of the plane to sit from Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden (Orsta-Volda) to Florø Airport (Floro)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic Sunnmøre Alps and deep views into the Nordfjord system, including distant glimpses of the Jostedalsbreen glacier.
Sunnmøre Alps
Immediately after takeoff, witness the jagged peaks of the Sunnmøre range piercing the clouds.
Nordfjord
A spectacular crossing of one of Norway's most iconic fjords, showcasing deep blue waters and steep cliffs.
Jostedalsbreen Glimpse
On clear days, look southeast to see the white expanse of mainland Europe's largest glacier.
Village of Nordfjordeid
The flight often passes near this historic settlement at the end of the Eidsfjorden arm.
Sit on the left for the best mountain photography. Since these flights are operated by Widerøe's Dash 8 aircraft, the high-wing design ensures unobstructed views from almost any window. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Sunnmøre Alps.
Voldafjorden
Enjoy the initial climb over the serene Voldafjord with views of the coastal archipelago.
Hornelen Sea Cliff
Look out for Europe's highest sea cliff, rising 860 meters straight out of the Frøysjøen.
Bremangerlandet
Fly past the rugged, wind-swept islands of the coast as you approach the Florø area.
Stadlandet Horizon
To the northwest, you can see the distant silhouette of the Stad peninsula, Norway's most exposed coastline.
The right side is perfect for capturing the contrast between the North Sea and the rugged coastal fringe. It is particularly beautiful during sunset flights when the Atlantic horizon glows gold. Keep an eye out for the unique geology of the Bremanger islands during the descent into Florø.
