MUC β†’ TRN

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled front-row seat to the highest peaks of the Alps, including views of the Bernese Oberland and the majestic Monte Rosa massif shortly before descent.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Zugspitze

Germany's highest mountain is frequently visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

πŸ’Ž

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the intersection of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Alps

Spectacular views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau glaciers depending on the specific flight corridor.

❄️

Monte Rosa Massif

Stunning views of the second highest peak in the Alps just north of Turin during the descent.

🏰

Susa Valley

The dramatic valley leading into the French border, dotted with ancient fortifications.

The right side is significantly more scenic for alpine enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to capture the vertical drop of the mountains. Afternoon flights on this side provide excellent lighting on the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ™οΈ

Munich Skyline

Clear views of the Marienplatz and the Allianz Arena immediately after departure from MUC.

🌊

Starnberger See

A sprawling blue lake south of Munich, serving as a gateway to the Bavarian Alps.

πŸ”οΈ

Dolomite Spires

Distant but sharp limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites visible to the southeast.

🚜

Po Valley Plains

The transition from rugged mountains to the flat, fertile agricultural heartland of Northern Italy.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side provides a better angle for seeing the suburban expansion of Milan and the eastern reaches of the Po Valley as you approach Turin.
