Julian Alps and Triglav
Slovenia's highest mountain, Triglav, is the star of the show during the descent into Ljubljana airport.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep an eye out for the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, at mid-flight, and the majestic Triglav peak as you descend into the Ljubljana basin. This side typically offers the best panoramic views of the main Alpine chain.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the Bavarian lakes illuminated. Watch for the emerald waters of Lake Chiemsee shortly after takeoff and the historic silhouette of Salzburg as you cross into Austria. The sun will be behind you in the afternoon, making this side better for photography later in the day.
