Search flights from MAD to RYG
Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Paris Environs
On clear days, the urban sprawl of the French capital and its famous landmarks are visible to the east.
Wadden Sea Islands
The unique ecosystem of the Frisian Islands with their shifting sands and tidal patterns.
Oslofjord Islands
A stunning final approach over the densely forested islands and summer cabins of the inner Oslofjord.
Sit behind the wing on the right side for the most dramatic photos of the Pyrenees. During the descent into Rygge, this side provides the best view of the Norwegian archipelago. If flying in winter, the low sun angle can create harsh glare on this side, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.

West Jutland
The continuous sandy beaches and dunes of Denmark's western coast bordering the North Sea.
