HOV → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden (Orsta-Volda) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the most dramatic landscapes in Norway, including the massive Jostedalsbreen ice cap and the towering peaks of Jotunheimen National Park.
Search flights from HOV to OSL
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
The largest glacier in continental Europe, appearing as a massive white expanse to the south.
Jotunheimen National Park
Home to Norway's highest mountains, including Galdhøpiggen and the iconic Hurrungane massif.
Lake Tyin
A stunning high-altitude lake surrounded by 2,000-meter peaks on the edge of the mountains.
Valdres Region
A beautiful transition from high alpine terrain to lush, forested valley communities.
Oslo Approach
Sweeping views of the Romerike landscape and the rural areas surrounding Gardermoen.
This is the premier side for photography. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the Jostedalsbreen crossing. Evening flights are spectacular here, as the setting sun casts long shadows over the Jotunheimen peaks. Ensure your window is clean, as the white glacier ice can cause significant glare.

Sunnmøre Alps
Immediately after takeoff, view the jagged, snow-capped peaks surrounding the Hjørundfjord.
Hjørundfjorden
One of Norway's most beautiful and secluded fjords, visible as the plane gains altitude.
Reinheimen National Park
Extensive mountain wilderness and high plateaus known for wild reindeer herds.
Randsfjorden
One of Norway's longest lakes, visible during the final descent toward Oslo.
Sit as far forward as possible to avoid the wing obstructing the steep fjord views during departure. The morning sun illuminates the northern slopes of the mountains, making the peaks look particularly sharp. In winter, this side catches the late afternoon 'blue hour' light across the inland valleys.
