OSLRRS

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Glomma River and the historic landscape approaching the UNESCO-listed town of Røros.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Glomma River

Follow the serpentine path of Norway's longest river as it winds through the deep Østerdalen valley.

🌲

Hedmark Wilderness

Expansive views of the dense, 'Green Sea' coniferous forests that define the heart of eastern Norway.

🏠

Røros Mining Town

During the final descent, the right side often provides a stunning view of the historic wooden buildings and the iconic Røros Church.

🛶

Femundsmarka

Look further east to see the rugged plateaus leading toward one of Norway's largest and most remote wilderness areas.

Sit on the right for the best views of the Glomma river system. This flight is usually operated by smaller turboprop aircraft (Dash 8), which fly at lower altitudes, offering excellent ground detail. Morning flights on this side are particularly beautiful as the sun illuminates the valley floors.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Lake Mjøsa

Catch glimpses of the southern tip of Norway's largest lake shortly after climbing out of Gardermoen.

🏔️

Rondane National Park

On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of Norway's oldest national park are visible on the distant western horizon.

🌲

Gudbrandsdalen Border

View the transition from the rolling agricultural lands of the south to the high-altitude valley landscapes.

The left side is best during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the high mountain ranges to the west, though they are further away than the features on the right.
