Salzkammergut Alps
Breathtaking views of the Dachstein Massif and its glacier visible in the distance.
Lake Traunsee
The deep blue waters of Traunsee with the iconic Traunstein peak rising abruptly from the shore.
Attersee & Mondsee
Aerial perspective of these turquoise alpine lakes, famous for their clarity and summer sailing.
Schafberg Mountain
The distinctively shaped peak overlooking the Wolfgangsee, often visible during the mid-flight phase.
Hohensalzburg Fortress
On the final approach to Salzburg, the massive medieval fortress is prominently visible on the left.
Choose the left side for morning flights to get the best light on the Alps without sun glare. During the short 20-30 minute flight, keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the lake district appears quickly. If the plane lands from the north (Runway 16), the left side provides the most iconic view of the Salzburg old town and castle.

Linz Cityscape
A clear view of the Danube river winding through the industrial and cultural heart of Linz right after departure.
Hausruckviertel
The rolling hills, agricultural patches, and dense forests characteristic of Upper Austria.
Wallersee
A smaller, serene lake located just north of Salzburg, often seen during the descent phase.
Maria Plain Basilica
The historic yellow pilgrimage church perched on a hill, visible just before touching down at SZG.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bavarian border. It offers a more pastoral view of the 'Innviertel' region. While less dramatic than the mountains on the left, it provides a better perspective of the flat plains leading into Germany and the northern outskirts of Salzburg city.
