Which side of the plane to sit from Kristiansund Airport (Kvernberget) (Kristiansund) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Norwegian mainland, featuring the jagged Sunnmøre Alps, deep inland fjords like Sognefjord, and the sprawling Jostedalsbreen glacier in the distance.
Molde City
A clear view of the 'City of Roses' nestled against the Romsdalsfjord shortly after takeoff.
Ålesund Architecture
The famous Art Nouveau city center spread across several islands, best seen from a high altitude.
Sunnmøre Alps
Dramatic, jagged mountain peaks that rise steeply and directly from the fjord edges.
Nordfjord
A deep, blue glacial fjord cutting into the mountainous landscape of the Vestland region.
Jostedalsbreen
Distant views of the largest glacier in mainland Europe glistening on the eastern horizon.
Sognefjord
The spectacular crossing of Norway's longest and deepest fjord as you approach Bergen.
Sit on the left for the best views of high mountain peaks and deep fjord systems. The transition from the Romsdal mountains to the Sunnmøre Alps is a major highlight. For photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the mountain faces from the east. In winter, look for the contrast between snow-capped peaks and dark fjord water.
The Atlantic Road
Spot the iconic curved Storseisundet Bridge connecting coastal islands near Kristiansund.
Hustadvika
One of the most famous and beautiful stretches of the treacherous Norwegian coastline.
Giske & Godøy
The rugged outer islands of the Ålesund region, home to historic lighthouses.
Hornelen Cliff
The highest sea cliff in Europe, located on the island of Bremangerlandet.
Coastal Skerries
The dense archipelago of thousands of islands and reefs guarding the final approach to Bergen.
The right side is ideal for passengers who love coastal geography and the open sea. You will see the dramatic transition from the mainland to the Atlantic Ocean. Sunset flights are particularly beautiful on this side as the sun dips below the horizon over the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the white-crested waves of the Hustadvika stretch.
