MOL → BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Molde Airport (Molde) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic inland mountain ranges, the massive Jostedalsbreen glacier system, and the deep, narrow inner reaches of the world-famous fjords.
Sunnmøre Alps
Spectacular jagged peaks rising over 1,500 meters directly from the fjord level shortly after takeoff.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
Distal views of the largest glacier in continental Europe, appearing as a massive white plateau to the southeast.
Nordfjord
A stunning perspective looking deep into the fjord toward Loen and Olden's turquoise glacial waters.
Sognefjord Crossing
A majestic crossing of Norway's longest and deepest fjord, showing the scale of the massive canyon carved by ice.
Stølsheimen Mountains
Rugged alpine plateaus and high-altitude lakes visible during the initial descent phase toward Bergen.
For the best experience, book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Sunnmøre Alps. On morning flights, the sun illuminates the mountain faces perfectly. During winter, this side offers the most dramatic snow-covered landscapes. Keep a map app open to identify the specific fjord branches like Geirangerfjord which may be visible in the distance.
Ålesund Cityscape
A beautiful aerial view of the Art Nouveau architecture spread across several islands surrounded by the Atlantic.
Stad Peninsula
The most exposed part of the Norwegian coast, known for its treacherous waters and dramatic sea cliffs.
Bremangerlandet
Home to Grotlesanden, one of Norway's most beautiful white sand beaches, contrasting against dark coastal rocks.
Kinn Island
The distinctive 'Kinnaklova' mountain, a famous landmark for sailors with its deep natural cleft.
Øygarden Archipelago
A dense network of thousands of islands and bridges that make up the final approach into Flesland.
The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, as you'll see the sun dipping into the North Sea. It offers a great perspective of the coastal shipping lanes, including the Hurtigruten ships. Watch for the dramatic transition from the open ocean to the sheltered islands as the plane descends into Bergen. Perfect for photographers interested in coastal geography and island patterns.
