Mount Vesuvius
A spectacular close-up view of the legendary volcano and its massive crater shortly after takeoff from NAP.
Central Apennines
The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring the Gran Sasso d'Italia, the highest peak of the Apennine range.
The Dolomites
UNESCO-listed limestone towers and jagged massifs, including the distinctive Sella Group and Marmolada.
Innsbruck & Inn Valley
The dramatic scenery of the Inn River valley and the surrounding Nordkette mountain range in Austria.
Chiemgau Alps
The transition from the high Alps to the lush Bavarian foothills, often passing near Lake Chiemsee.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic landmarks. Vesuvius is best seen within the first 10 minutes, while the Dolomites appear about 50-60 minutes after takeoff. For evening flights, this side catches the 'Alpenglow' effect on the limestone mountains.

The complex volcanic caldera and crater lakes located just west of Naples during the initial climb.
Rome & Vatican City
Distant views of the Eternal City and the Tiber River as the flight tracks north along the Tyrrhenian coast.
Tuscan Countryside
The rolling hills, vineyards, and historic estates of the Chianti region and the city of Florence.
Lake Garda
The expansive western shoreline of Italy's largest lake and the steep cliffs of the Alto Garda Bresciano.
Ötztal Alps
High-altitude glaciated peaks near the Italian-Austrian border, including the Wildspitze.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Tuscan landscape. Watch for the distinct shape of Lake Garda roughly 50 minutes into the flight; it serves as the gateway to the high Alps.
