The Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany as you head south from Weeze.
Lake Constance
The massive tri-border lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria visible shortly before the Alps.
Glarus Alps
High-altitude glacial peaks and jagged ridges of the eastern Swiss Alps.
Lake Como
The distinct Y-shaped glacial lake nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps.
Lombardy Plains
The vast, flat agricultural expanse of the Po Valley dotted with historical Italian towns.
For morning flights, sit on the left to see the sun reflecting off Lake Constance and Lake Como. This side is also preferred for seeing the sun rise over the Adriatic in the distance as you descend towards Bologna. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after takeoff for the Alpine crossing.

Vosges Mountains
The rounded peaks of the French Vosges range visible across the Rhine Valley.
Lake Zurich
The long, narrow blue waters of Zurich's lake cutting through the Swiss landscape.
Bernese Oberland
Distant but impressive views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs to the southwest.
Milan Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district and the Duomo can be seen in the distance.
Emilian Apennines
The rugged northern edge of the Apennine mountain chain as the aircraft turns for final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid direct glare from the sun while viewing the Alps. During the final descent into BLQ, this side often provides a better perspective of the city of Bologna and its red-roofed architecture if the plane approaches from the west. Look for the 'San Luca' sanctuary on the hill during the landing pattern.
