Which side of the plane to sit from Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden (Orsta-Volda) to Sogndal Airport (Sogndal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Jostedalsbreen ice cap and the most dramatic sections of the Sunnmøre Alps during the short southbound hop.
Sunnmøre Alps
Witness the sharp, alpine peaks of the Sunnmøre region, including iconic summits like Slogen, shortly after takeoff.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
Unparalleled views of the massive ice plateau, the largest glacier in continental Europe, and its various glacial tongues.
Nordfjord Panorama
A bird's-eye view of the winding Nordfjord and the dramatic transition from coastal hills to high-alpine terrain.
Haukåsen Plateau
A unique perspective of the airport's high-altitude location on a mountain plateau before the final approach.
The right side is essential for glacier enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to avoid direct sun glare. Because the flight is very short (approx. 30 minutes), be ready with your camera immediately after the seatbelt sign turns off.
Voldsfjorden
Immediate views of the coastal landscape and the educational hub of Volda nestled along the shoreline.
Hornindalsvatnet
Observe the deep blue surface of Europe's deepest lake, surrounded by lush green mountains.
Fjærland Mountains
Distant views of the rugged terrain leading toward the Jostedalsbreen National Park and the Fjærland fjord branch.
Sognefjord Entrance
As the plane descends, enjoy the vista of the inner Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway.
The left side is particularly scenic during afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, casting a warm glow over the fjord faces. Keep a lookout for the steep valleys of Nordfjord midway through the flight.
