Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the iconic 'De syv søstre' (The Seven Sisters) mountain range and the dramatic coastal archipelago of the Helgeland region during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Vefsnfjord

Aerial views of the deep fjord as the aircraft departs from Mosjøen and heads toward the coast.

🏔️

The Seven Sisters

The legendary mountain range with seven distinct peaks rising directly from the sea on Alsten island.

⛪

Alstahaug Church

The historic medieval stone church and Petter Dass museum site visible near the southern tip of Alsten.

This is a very short flight, often lasting less than 20 minutes. Keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Seven Sisters, as the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks. If the flight path approaches from the south, the left side is essential for the mountain vistas.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Mosjøen Town

A quick glimpse of the historic Sjøgata district and the town nestled between the mountains and the Vefsna river.

🌉

Helgeland Bridge

The elegant cable-stayed bridge spanning the Leirfjord, connecting Alsten island to the mainland.

⛰️

Dønnamannen

The profile of the mountain on the island of Dønna, which resembles a sleeping man's face.

The right side is excellent for spotting the Helgeland Bridge during the descent. Depending on the wind direction and landing runway at Stokka, you might get a sweeping view of the Leirfjord. Look for the distinctive 'Hole in the Mountain' (Torghatten) far to the south if visibility is exceptionally clear.
