Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an extraordinary vantage point of the Helgeland coast, featuring the legendary Seven Sisters mountains and the unique Torghatten mountain.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
⛰️

The Seven Sisters

The iconic mountain range on Alsten island, where seven distinct peaks rise dramatically from the sea to over 1,000 meters.

🏝️

Vega Archipelago

A UNESCO World Heritage site comprising over 6,500 islands, reefs, and skerries in a shallow sea.

🕳️

Torghatten

The legendary mountain near Brønnøysund famous for the natural 160-meter long hole piercing through its center.

🌊

Helgeland Coast

A breathtaking maze of fjords and thousands of islands that form one of the world's most intricate coastlines.

🛳️

Trondheimsfjord

The wide, fertile fjord landscape as the aircraft begins its final descent into Værnes airport.

This is the 'scenic' side of the flight. For the best views of the Seven Sisters and Torghatten, try to sit behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. Mid-day or afternoon flights provide the best light on the coastal cliffs. Keep your eyes peeled for the 'hole' in Torghatten about 20 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
🏔️

Okstindan Massif

The 'Roof of Northern Norway' featuring the massive Okstindbreen glacier, visible shortly after departure.

🌲

Børgefjell National Park

Vast, untamed mountain wilderness stretching toward the Swedish border with rugged peaks and high plateaus.

💧

Lake Snåsavatnet

Norway's sixth-largest lake, a deep blue ribbon cutting through the lush forests of central Trøndelag.

🏘️

Steinkjer

The administrative center of Trøndelag located at the innermost point of the Trondheimsfjord.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the glaciers of Okstindan. It is also the better side for viewing the Aurora Borealis during night flights in winter as it faces the darker inland horizon away from coastal moisture.
