MOLOSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Molde Airport (Molde) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular panorama of the Sunnmøre Alps and the high peaks of Jotunheimen, including Galdhøpiggen, as you fly south toward Oslo.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Sunnmøre Alps

Dramatic, jagged alpine peaks rising straight from the fjords shortly after departure.

❄️

Jostedalsbreen

In the distance, you can see the massive white expanse of mainland Europe's largest glacier.

👑

Jotunheimen Peaks

The Home of the Giants, featuring Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind, the highest mountains in Norway.

🏞️

Valdres Region

A stunning landscape of high-altitude lakes and traditional mountain farm plateaus.

🏙️

Oslo Fjord Distant View

On a clear day, look south for the glint of the Oslofjord as the plane turns for its final approach.

The right side is the prime spot for peak-baggers. For the best glacier visibility, choose a mid-day flight when the sun is high to illuminate the ice. Avoid winter evening flights as the sun sets very early over the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Molde Cityscape

Immediate view of the Town of Roses and the surrounding Romsdal Peninsula right after takeoff.

🏔️

Trollveggen

Look for the vertical rock face of the Troll Wall, the tallest in Europe, as the plane heads inland.

🦌

Dovrefjell

The wild, high-altitude plateau known for its musk oxen and the iconic Snøhetta peak to the north.

💧

Lake Mjøsa

Norway's largest lake comes into view as the aircraft descends towards the Oslo region.

🛫

Gardermoen Approaches

The fertile agricultural lands of Romerike during the final descent into OSL.

Sit on the left for the best view of the Romsdalen valley and the sweeping curves of Lake Mjøsa. Morning flights provide excellent soft lighting on the eastern slopes of the Dovre mountains.
