🧊

Hardangerjøkulen Glacier

Hallingskarvet

The long, distinctive mountain wall that marks the northern edge of the Hardangervidda plateau.

Hardangerfjord

As the plane descends, you get deep views into one of Norway's most beautiful and iconic fjords.

🏝️

Karmøy & Islands

A beautiful overview of the coastal archipelago surrounding Haugesund just before landing.

The right side is essential for glacier spotting. On late afternoon or evening flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the North Sea as you approach Haugesund Airport.

Left Side Highlights

🏔️

Gaustatoppen Peak

Look south to spot the iconic 1,883m conical mountain, a landmark of the Telemark region.

🌲

Telemark Wilderness

Vast stretches of high-altitude forests and deep valleys characteristic of southern Norway.

Ryfylke Highlands

Rugged mountain terrain transitioning into the island-dotted landscape near the North Sea coast.

Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of Gaustatoppen. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the southern mountain ranges without the glare of the sun.
