Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the high Alpine peaks and a more direct view of Lake Annecy and Geneva's city center, including the Jet d'Eau, during the descent.

Nice & Promenade des Anglais
Immediate panoramic view of the 'Baie des Anges' and the city of Nice right after wheels up.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in the distance, towering over the surrounding massifs.
Lake Annecy
A crystal-clear view of Europe's cleanest lake, nestled between the Aravis and Bauges mountains.
Lake Geneva & Jet d'Eau
Exceptional views of the crescent-shaped lake and the famous 140-meter tall water fountain in Geneva.
Black Forest
In the distance during descent, the dark, dense forests of southwestern Germany become visible.
The Right Side is preferred for the 'money shot' of Lake Geneva. For the best photography, aim for a midday flight when the sun is high, illuminating the Alpine valleys and the blue waters of the lakes without creating long shadows.

Cannes Coastline
Stunning views of the Esterel Massif's red rocks and the Bay of Cannes shortly after departure.
Verdon Gorges
The deep turquoise waters of the Verdon Canyon visible as the plane heads north into the mountains.
Barre des Écrins
Look out for the southernmost 4,000-meter peak in the Alps standing prominently in the Écrins National Park.
Jura Mountains
The folded limestone ridges of the Jura range mark the final approach phase into the Basel area.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the Western Alps and the Provencal landscape.
