OSL → KSU
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Kristiansund Airport (Kvernberget) (Kristiansund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the rugged interior mountain ranges, including the iconic Dovrefjell and Trollheimen massifs, followed by a dramatic approach over the coastal islands.
Gudbrandsdalen
The historic 'King of Valleys' stretches out below, showing the traditional farmsteads of central Norway.
Snøhetta Peak
The massive, dominant peak of the Dovrefjell range is clearly visible as a landmark of the interior.
Trollheimen
Known as the Home of the Trolls, this range offers views of dramatic, deep-cut glacial valleys.
Grip Archipelago
During the final descent into KSU, look for the tiny, historic fishing village islands sitting out in the Atlantic.
The right side provides the best morning light for capturing the textures of the mountain plateaus. Watch for the sharp transition from the high alpine tundra of Dovrefjell to the sheer coastal cliffs as the descent begins into Kristiansund.
Lake Mjøsa
Norway's largest lake is visible shortly after takeoff from OSL as the plane climbs North-West.
Jotunheimen Range
In the distance, the snow-capped peaks of Northern Europe's highest mountains can be seen on clear days.
Sunnmøre Alps
As the flight approaches the coast, the jagged peaks of the Sunnmøre region appear to the South-West.
Sit toward the rear of the cabin to keep the wing out of your shots of the Jotunheimen horizon. On evening flights, the western sun can be quite strong on this side, making photography difficult without a polarizer.
