Search flights from LWO to GRO
Austrian & Swiss Alps
A continuous chain of snow-capped peaks and glaciers stretching across the horizon during the mid-portion of the flight.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often stands out clearly above the surrounding French and Italian Alpine massifs.
Rhône Valley
The descent into Southern France often follows the path of the Rhône River, revealing vast vineyards and ancient river towns.
The Pyrenees
During the descent into Girona, the eastern edge of the Pyrenees mountain range creates a jagged border between France and Spain.
Costa Brava Northern Tip
The rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia with its hidden coves and rocky cliffs becomes visible just before landing.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best clarity of the Alpine glaciers, book a morning flight when the sun is behind the aircraft. Keep a map app open to identify Mont Blanc, which will appear on the horizon about two-thirds of the way through the flight. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the shift from the flat French plains to the dramatic rise of the Pyrenees.
Book Hotels in GeronaEastern Carpathians
The flight departs over the rolling green ridges and forested peaks of Western Ukraine and the bordering Carpathian range.
Lake Balaton
Visibility of Central Europe's largest lake, known for its turquoise waters and the surrounding Hungarian wine regions.
Ligurian Coast
As the plane crosses toward France, the rugged coastline of the Italian Riviera and the port of Genoa become visible.
French Riviera
Breathtaking views of the Cote d'Azur, including the luxury enclaves of Monaco, Nice, and the Bay of Cannes.
Gulf of Lion
The final leg over the Mediterranean provides views of the deep blue sea and the busy shipping lanes entering French ports.
The left side is best for sun-drenched coastal views during midday flights. To avoid glare, choose this side for afternoon departures. Look for the distinct crescent shape of Lake Balaton roughly 45 minutes into the flight. As you approach Spain, watch the coastline of the Cote d'Azur for the contrast between the turquoise Mediterranean and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif.
