🏔️

Monte Rosa

Massive Alpine peaks visible right after takeoff from Malpensa.

❄️

Mont Blanc

Glacial views of Europe's highest peak to the northwest during the first 20 minutes.

🌲

Massif Central

The volcanic plateaus and ancient mountains of south-central France.

⛰️

Pyrenees National Park

Sharp mountain ridges along the French border with dramatic northern faces.

🌊

Atlantic Ocean

Dramatic coastal views as the flight nears Porto from the Bay of Biscay.

The first 15 minutes are the highlight; sit on the right for the best Alps views. Winter and spring offer the most dramatic snow-capped peaks. Watch for the Atlantic horizon during the descent.

🏙️

Po Valley

Industrial and urban sprawl of Northern Italy visible during the initial climb.

🏖️

Côte d'Azur

Distant views of the Mediterranean coastline and the French Riviera to the south.

☀️

Castilian Plateau

The vast, arid landscapes of central Spain as the flight crosses the peninsula.

Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Italian landscape. On the final approach, look for the winding Douro River if the plane turns from the south.
