Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides are stunning, the Right Side offers a spectacular view of the Okstindan mountain range and the massive Okstindbreen glacier, which are the crown jewels of the Helgeland inland landscape.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🧊

Okstindbreen Glacier

One of the largest glaciers in Norway, appearing as a vast white expanse atop the rugged peaks.

⛰️

Oksskolten Peak

The highest mountain in Northern Norway, reaching 1,916 meters, dominating the eastern horizon.

🏠

Rabothytta View

A glimpse toward the famous architectural cabin perched at 1,200 meters near the edge of the glacier.

🛶

Røssvatnet

Norway's second-largest lake may be visible to the southeast, often partially frozen in late spring.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic alpine scenery. The morning sun illuminates the glaciers perfectly. Because the flight is extremely short and low-altitude, keep your camera ready from the moment the seatbelt sign goes off.

Left Side Highlights
8.0
🌊

Vefsnfjorden

Immediate views of the deep fjord waters extending from Mosjøen toward the Norwegian Sea.

🏔️

Øyfjellet

The massive mountain standing 818 meters tall right next to Mosjøen, offering a dramatic takeoff backdrop.

🏝️

Helgeland Archipelago

On clear days, look west to see the distant, intricate network of thousands of islands and the Seven Sisters range.

⚓

Hemnesberget

The picturesque village located on a peninsula jutting out into the Ranfjorden as you approach MQN.

Look out the window immediately after takeoff to see the town of Mosjøen nestled between the fjord and the mountains. This side is best for sunset flights as the light reflects off the coastal waters to the west.
