Moselle Valley
Aerial views of the winding river and the famous vineyards of the Luxembourg-German border region shortly after takeoff.
Strasbourg
The historic center of the Alsatian capital and its famous cathedral spire are often visible to the east.
Black Forest
On clear days, the dense green canopy of Germany's Schwarzwald is visible across the Rhine valley.
Swiss Alps Panorama
A breathtaking distant view of the high peaks of the Bernese Oberland as the flight nears Switzerland.
Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)
A stunning perspective of the crescent-shaped lake and the French Alps as the plane descends toward Cointrin.
For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which illuminates the Alps and the lake surface brilliantly. As the aircraft descends, watch for the Jet d'Eau fountain in Geneva harbor, which is most prominent from this side if the approach is from the north.

Metz & Nancy
Views of the historic Lorraine cities and the Meurthe-et-Moselle department early in the flight.
Vosges Mountains
Flying parallel to the rounded, forested peaks of the Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges.
Burgundy Region
The vast patterns of some of the world's most famous vineyards stretching across the French landscape.
Jura Mountains
A close-up view of the rugged limestone ridges of the Jura range as the aircraft enters Swiss airspace.
The right side is ideal for seeing the intricate geological folds of the Jura mountains during the final 15 minutes of the flight. In winter, these ridges are often dusted with snow, creating a beautiful monochromatic landscape. This side is also better if the flight path involves a southern loop over the city.
