Search flights from MXP to NTE
Lake Maggiore
Immediately after takeoff from MXP, see the Borromean Islands and the deep blue waters of this pre-alpine lake.
Mont Blanc Massif
Europe's highest peak is often visible to the north, showcasing its massive glaciers and jagged granite needles.
Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)
The massive crescent-shaped lake spanning Switzerland and France, often with the Jet d'Eau visible in clear weather.
Burgundy Vineyards
View the neatly partitioned geometric patterns of some of the world's most famous wine estates near Beaune.
Angers and the Maine
The massive black-walled fortress of Angers is clearly visible where the Maine river meets the Loire.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Alps' experience. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to capture the transition from the high peaks to the rolling French countryside. For late afternoon flights, this side will have the best illumination on the mountains.

Witness the rugged peaks and glaciers of the Graian Alps shortly after departure from Milan.
Chaine des Puys
As you cross central France, look for the iconic alignment of dormant volcanic craters in the Massif Central.
Southern Loire Castles
Aerial views of the southern banks of the Loire River, dotted with historic estates and manor houses.
Saint-Étienne
The urban sprawl of this historic industrial city nestled in the Furan river valley.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying west to avoid direct glare. This side provides a better angle for the volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region if the flight path tracks slightly south.
