OLA → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ørland Airport (Orland) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the Atlantic coastline to the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Jotunheimen mountain range, the highest in Northern Europe.

Hitra and Frøya
The scattered islands and coastal skerries of the Trøndelag archipelago visible shortly after takeoff.
Jotunheimen National Park
Home to the 'Giants', this range contains the most spectacular alpine scenery on the route.
Galdhøpiggen
Look for the highest peak in Scandinavia rising above the surrounding glaciers.
Valdres Valleys
Deep, narrow valleys and high-altitude lakes that characterize the transition to eastern Norway.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the western faces of the mountains. This side provides the best view of the 'Roof of Norway'. Even in summer, the highest peaks of Jotunheimen will retain snow, making for excellent photography. Aim for a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the mountain vistas.

Trondheimsfjord
Expansive views of the winding fjord system as the aircraft departs the Ørland peninsula.
Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella
The massive, rounded peaks of the Dovre plateau, known for its population of wild muskoxen.
Rondane National Park
Vistas of Norway's oldest national park, featuring iconic, weathered mountain silhouettes.
Lake Mjøsa
A view of Norway's largest lake and the fertile agricultural lands surrounding Hamar during the descent.
Gudbrandsdalen
One of Norway's longest and most famous valleys carving through the interior landscape.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinctive horseshoe shape of the Rondane mountains about halfway through the flight. During the winter months, look for the frozen surface of Lake Mjøsa as you approach Oslo Lufthavn.
