Mont Blanc

A spectacular view of the highest peak in the Alps, often passing very close to the massif.

Cote d'Azur

Distant views of the French Riviera and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

🏝️

West Corsican Cliffs

The dramatic red granite cliffs of Piana and the Scandola Nature Reserve.

Capo Caccia

The massive limestone headland known as the 'Sleeping Giant' during the final approach into Alghero.

The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. Afternoon flights offer stunning golden hour light on the Alps and the Sardinian coast. Ensure you watch closely during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the breathtaking limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia as the plane turns toward Alghero-Fertilia.

Corsican Granite

The high jagged peaks of central Corsica and the dense 'Maquis' shrubland from above.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the sunrise lighting up the Alps. This side provides a better perspective of the Italian coastline near Genoa and the eastern side of the Tuscan Archipelago.
