Cap Corse
The dramatic northern 'finger' of Corsica jutting into the Ligurian Sea.
Ligurian Coast
Views toward the Italian Riviera and the port city of Genoa in the distance.
Mont Blanc
An incredible view of Europe's highest peak and the surrounding glaciers of the Chamonix valley.
Lake Geneva
The vast crescent-shaped Lac Léman dominates the landscape during the descent into GVA.
Jura Mountains
The rolling limestone ridges marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Sit on the right side for the most dramatic mountain scenery. For the best photos of Mont Blanc, ensure you are not directly over the wing. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps, avoiding the harsh glare of the afternoon sun.
