Search flights from KSU to TRD
Trollheimen Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks of the interior mountain range, often covered in snow well into the summer months.
Halsafjorden
A deep, narrow fjord carved into the landscape, showcasing the classic Norwegian fjord topography.
Orkdalsfjorden
The western branch of the Trondheimsfjord, leading towards the industrial hub of Orkanger.
Trondheim Cityscape
On the final descent, look for the green spire of Nidaros Cathedral and the colorful wharf houses along the Nidelva river.
Værnes Approach
A low-altitude sweep over the inner Trondheimsfjord before touching down at the airport.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain scenery. Shortly after takeoff from KSU, keep your eyes peeled for the transition from coastal hills to the alpine peaks of the interior. During winter flights, the moonlight reflecting off the snow-covered fjords on this side is breathtaking.

Smøla Archipelago
A vast cluster of thousands of small islands and skerries scattered across the shallow coastal waters.
Hitra Wind Farm
One of Norway's largest onshore wind farms visible on the rugged terrain of Hitra island.
Trondheimsleia
The historical maritime shipping lane separating the large islands of Hitra and Frøya from the mainland.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Norwegian Sea, particularly stunning during the long twilight of the summer 'midnight sun' season.
The left side is ideal for evening flights during the summer to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. It offers a better perspective of the outer island chains and the unique 'strandflaten' coastal landscape. Look for the distinct lighthouse at Grip shortly after departure.
