Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Brønnøysund Airport (Bronnoysund)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the dramatic Helgeland coastline, including the iconic Torghatten mountain and the intricate archipelago during the final descent into Brønnøysund.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Jotunheimen Peaks

Distant views of Norway's highest mountains to the west during the mid-flight cruise phase.

🌊

Helgeland Coast

As you approach the destination, the landscape transforms into a stunning tapestry of thousands of islands and turquoise waters.

⛰️

Torghatten

The legendary mountain with a natural hole through its center, typically visible just before landing at BNN.

🚢

Coastal Express

Look for Hurtigruten or Havila ships navigating the narrow channels of the inner lead below.

🏙️

Oslo Pass-over

Aerial views of the capital's northern outskirts and the lush Romerike landscape immediately after takeoff.

Sit on the left for the best views of the iconic Torghatten mountain during the final approach. In winter, this side is ideal for spotting the Northern Lights if flying after dark. Morning flights provide excellent natural lighting on the coastal islands without the glare of the sun.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Lake Mjøsa

Norway's largest lake and the surrounding fertile farmlands, visible shortly after departure from OSL.

🏞️

Rondane National Park

The characteristic rounded peaks of Norway's oldest national park stretching toward the Swedish border.

🏔️

Dovrefjell

A high mountain plateau home to the muskox, offering a wild and barren alpine beauty.

🏙️

Trondheim

Views of the Nidaros Cathedral city and the vast Trondheimsfjord as the flight proceeds northward.

👠

The Seven Sisters

The dramatic 'De syv søstre' mountain range near Alstahaug, often visible shortly before the final descent.

The right side is perfect for mountain enthusiasts, offering views of the major inland national parks. During evening flights in summer, you will catch the warm glow of the midnight sun over the inland peaks. It offers a more consistent view of the high mountain terrain compared to the coastal focus of the left.
