OSLMOL

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the high-alpine Jotunheimen range and the iconic jagged peaks of the Romsdal Alps during descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Mjøsa

Views of Norway's largest lake during the initial climb out of Gardermoen.

🏔️

Jotunheimen National Park

Glimpse the highest peaks in Scandinavia, including Galdhøpiggen in the distance.

❄️

Reinheimen Wilderness

Vast stretches of high-altitude tundra and rugged mountain plateaus.

⛰️

Trollveggen

The famous Troll Wall, Europe's highest vertical rock face, visible during the descent into Romsdal.

🚤

Moldefjord

Sparkling blue waters and small islands as the plane descends toward the coastal airport.

For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Romsdal Alps. Afternoon flights on this side benefit from the sun being positioned to highlight the western mountain faces. Watch for the sharp contrast between the inland plateaus and the steep coastal fjords.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏘️

Lillehammer

The 1994 Winter Olympics host city visible at the northern end of Mjøsa.

🏔️

Rondane National Park

Distinctive, massive rounded peaks that characterize Norway's oldest national park.

🐃

Dovrefjell

Look for the massive Snøhetta peak rising above the high mountain plains.

🌊

Sunndalsfjorden

Deep, narrow fjord arms carving into the landscape as you approach the coast.

🏟️

Molde City Center

A birds-eye view of the 'Town of Roses' and the Aker Stadium during the final approach.

The right side is superior for viewing the Dovrefjell range. If the plane approaches Molde from the east (Runway 25), you will get an excellent view of the city and the famous 'Molde Panorama' of 222 peaks. Morning flights offer the best lighting for this side.
