Helgeland Coast
A mesmerizing labyrinth of thousands of islands, reefs, and skerries along the Atlantic edge.
Vega Archipelago
The UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique cultural landscape and eider duck farming heritage.
Torghatten
Watch for the legendary mountain near Brønnøysund, famous for the distinct hole passing through its center.
Leka Island
Look for the striking yellow and red serpentine rocks of this island, which is part of a Global Geopark.
Trondheimsfjord
The final descent follows the coastline into Norway's third-largest fjord, often spotting coastal steamers below.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'hole in the mountain' (Torghatten) roughly 15-20 minutes into the flight. For the best photography, morning flights provide excellent lighting on the coastal features. Since Widerøe often flies this route with high-wing Dash 8 aircraft, almost every seat offers an unobstructed view of the terrain.

Øyfjellet Mountain
Directly after takeoff, gaze at the massive mountain wall towering over Mosjøen town.
Okstindan Glaciers
To the east, the 'Roof of Northern Norway' features rugged peaks and ancient glacial ice.
Børgefjell National Park
Aerial views of the wild, roadless wilderness spanning the border between Nordland and Trøndelag.
Lake Snåsavatnet
Norway's sixth-largest lake appears as a deep blue ribbon winding through the Trøndelag landscape.
Innherred Farmlands
A transition into the fertile agricultural heartland of Norway as you approach the fjord.
The left side is best during the afternoon to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the snowy peaks of Børgefjell in late spring, which provide a stark contrast to the greening valleys. This side offers a more stable, terrestrial view of Norway's 'spine'.
