OSLSDN

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

Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of the massive Jostedalsbreen glacier and the highest peaks of the Jotunheimen mountain range.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Jotunheimen National Park

Home to Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind, the two highest peaks in Northern Europe.

❄️

Jostedalsbreen Glacier

The largest glacier in mainland Europe, appearing as a massive white ice cap to the north.

🏞️

Nordfjord

Stunning views of the emerald-colored fjord arms as the plane prepares to land.

🌊

Breimsvatnet

A deep, narrow lake surrounded by steep mountains passed just before touchdown.

The right side is the 'glacier side' and is highly recommended. For the best photos of Jostedalsbreen, a seat in the front or very back of the cabin is best to avoid the wing. On summer flights, the blue ice of the glacier is particularly vibrant, while winter flights offer a majestic snow-covered alpine landscape.

Left Side Highlights

🌲

Tyrifjorden

One of Norway's largest lakes, visible shortly after departing from the Oslo region.

⛰️

Hallingskarvet

A distinct and massive mountain plateau that dominates the southern horizon.

🏔️

Sognefjord Arms

Distant views of the inner branches of the world's longest ice-free fjord.

🛬

Gloppenfjorden

A breathtaking view of the fjord and Sandane village during the final descent.

This side is ideal for avoiding the glare of the sun during mid-day flights. It provides a broad perspective of the high-altitude plateaus and the dramatic transition to the western fjords. During the final approach, look down for the traditional farmsteads clinging to the hillsides.
