Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the rugged Norwegian coastline, the Barents Sea, and the iconic Lyngen Alps during the final approach into Tromsø.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Varanger Peninsula

The dramatic, treeless tundra landscape meeting the cold waters of the Barents Sea.

🧗

Nordkinn Peninsula

The rugged cliffs of the northernmost point of mainland Europe visible in the distance.

🏘️

Hammerfest & Melkøya

Views of the world's northernmost town and the glowing lights of the LNG processing plant.

🏔️

Lyngen Alps

Spectacular, jagged peaks rising 1,800 meters directly from the fjords; a highlight of the route.

🏙️

Tromsø Island

The aerial view of the city, the Tromsø Bridge, and the Arctic Cathedral during the descent.

The right side is superior for coastal scenery. Aim for a window seat to see the deep blue fjords and the majestic Lyngen Alps about 15-20 minutes before landing. In summer, the Midnight Sun provides stunning golden hour light on the peaks throughout the night.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Pasvik Valley

Lush boreal forests stretching toward the Russian border immediately after takeoff from Kirkenes.

🏔️

Finnmarksvidda

The vast, rolling arctic plateau that dominates the interior of Northern Norway.

❄️

Øksfjordjøkelen

A glimpse of the large glacier plateau that straddles the border between Finnmark and Troms.

🏞️

Reisa National Park

Deep river canyons and dramatic plateaus visible as the flight enters Troms county.

⛰️

Kåfjord Alps

The steep and rugged mountain ranges that lead toward the inland valleys.

Sit on the left for a view of the vast wilderness of the Finnmarksvidda plateau. In winter, this side is excellent for spotting the Northern Lights away from the coastal clouds. Look for the distinct change from rolling hills to sharp alpine peaks as you move west.
