Lake Maggiore
Exceptional views of the Borromean Islands and the lakeside towns of Stresa and Baveno during the initial climb.
Monte Rosa Massif
Close-up views of the second-highest mountain in the Alps and its massive glaciers along the Italian-Swiss border.
The Matterhorn
The distinct pyramid-shaped peak is clearly visible to the west as the flight crosses into Swiss airspace.
Jura Mountains
A sprawling view of the limestone ridges that form the natural border between Switzerland and France.
Metz & Lorraine
The historic urban landscapes and green fields of northeastern France as the aircraft prepares for its final descent.
Book a window seat in the front third of the cabin (Rows 5-10) to avoid wing obstruction. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the western Alpine faces. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of departure for the best mountain shots.

The Black Forest

Moselle Valley
