Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the high Alpine peaks and the most dramatic views of the Norwegian fjord landscape during the descent into Bergen.
Maritime Alps
The dramatic rise of the Southern Alps from the Mediterranean coast shortly after leaving Nice.
Central Swiss Alps
Direct views towards iconic peaks like the Matterhorn and the sprawling Lake Constance on the border of Germany.
Frankfurt Skyline
The dense skyscraper cluster of Germany's financial hub is often visible from the high-altitude corridor.
Jutland Peninsula
A cross-section view of the Danish countryside and the transition from the Baltic to the North Sea.
Hardangerfjord
Spectacular views of one of Norway's longest fjords and the Folgefonna glacier shortly before landing.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival in Norway; it provides the most intimate views of the deep fjords and snow-capped inland mountains. On evening flights, this side catches the warm 'Golden Hour' glow over the mountains. Keep a lookout approximately 25 minutes before landing for the first sight of the Norwegian coastline.
Côte d'Azur
Aerial views of the Promenade des Anglais and the turquoise waters of the French Riviera immediately after takeoff.
Bernese Alps
Glacial peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau visible as the aircraft traverses Swiss airspace.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river and the industrial heartland of Western Germany visible through central Europe.
Wadden Sea
The unique tidal flats and island chains along the German and Danish North Sea coastlines.
Sotra Archipelago
The rocky outer islands and bridges of the Hordaland coast during the final approach into Flesland.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Swiss Alps. During the final approach, the left side offers a better view of the North Sea's vast horizon and the rugged outer island chains of Norway.
