MUC โ†’ GRZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Graz Airport (Graz)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an intimate look at the rugged heart of the Northern Limestone Alps, including the iconic Dachstein massif and the high peaks of the Berchtesgaden National Park.

Right Side Highlights

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Munich Cityscape

During departure, catch the Allianz Arena and the distinct towers of the Frauenkirche against the backdrop of the Alps.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Watzmann Massif

View Germany's third highest peak and its distinctive 'family' profile near the border with Salzburg.

โ„๏ธ

Dachstein Glacier

The highest peak in Styria, offering views of permanent ice fields and dramatic vertical limestone walls.

๐ŸŒฒ

Enns Valley

A deep, lush valley carving through the mountains, providing a sense of the immense scale of the Alpine terrain.

The right side is superior for mountain lovers; sit here for afternoon flights to enjoy the 'Alpenglow' on the peaks. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the transition from the Bavarian plateau to the high mountains is rapid and spectacular.

Left Side Highlights

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Chiemsee

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this vast lake features the grand Herrenchiemsee Palace on its central island.

๐Ÿฐ

Salzburg Skyline

A clear view of the historic Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Salzach River as the plane tracks toward the southeast.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Salzkammergut Lakes

Stunning views of the turquoise Wolfgangsee and Attersee nestled within the rolling foothills of the Alps.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the famous lakes of Upper Austria clearly. The approach into Graz from the north often provides a great view of the Schรถckl mountain just before landing.
