Isola di Tavolara
A massive, table-top limestone island rising 565 meters out of the sea near Olbia.
Tuscan Archipelago
Distant views of Elba and Capraia islands scattered in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Bernese Oberland
Unrivaled views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Switzerland.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The enormous blue expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible just before the final approach.
Swabian Jura
The dramatic limestone escarpment of the Schwäbische Alb, occasionally featuring views of hilltop castles.
Choose the right side for the 'Tavolara moment'—it is one of the most iconic sights in Mediterranean aviation. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some glare, but the sun's position often highlights the texture of the Alpine glaciers and the Lake Constance shoreline beautifully.

Costa Smeralda
Breathtaking views of Sardinia's turquoise bays and luxury resorts immediately after departure.
Corsican Interior
The rugged, granite peaks of central Corsica, including Monte Cinto, visible across the strait.
Ligurian Coastline
The Italian Riviera near Genoa where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Western Swiss Alps
Glaciated high-altitude peaks of the Valais region and distant views toward the Mont Blanc massif.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests of the Schwarzwald as the aircraft enters German airspace and begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers better views of the rugged western side of the Alps. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Genoa for the contrast between the deep blue sea and the steep coastal mountains.
