Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Sogndal Airport (Sogndal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic scenery in Norway, including the highest peaks of Jotunheimen National Park and the massive Jostedalsbreen glacier during the descent.
Jotunheimen National Park
Home to Galdhøpiggen, the highest peak in Northern Europe, and a jagged skyline of alpine peaks.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
The largest glacier in continental Europe, appearing as a massive, shimmering ice sheet on the horizon.
Valdres Region
Classic Norwegian mountain scenery featuring high-altitude lakes and traditional summer farms.
Sognefjord Descent
A spectacular view of the narrow fjord arms as the plane descends into the heart of the fjord district.
Haukåsen Runway
A unique landing on a runway perched 498 meters above sea level on a mountain ridge.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain enthusiasts. Try to book a seat toward the front or rear to avoid the propeller and engine if you want clear photos. Look out for the blue ice of the glaciers during summer months; in winter, the peaks are sharp and snow-covered. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on the Jotunheimen peaks.
Romerike Highlands
Lush evergreen forests and rolling hills immediately west of Oslo Airport.
Lake Tyrifjorden
A large, deep lake system visible during the initial climb toward the mountains.
Hallingdal Valley
Vast views of the valley floor and the transition into the high mountain plateau.
Sognefjord South
Aerial perspectives of the southern branches of the world's longest and deepest fjord.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights and better views of the sprawling Hardangervidda plateau in the distance. During the final approach, you will see the steep mountain walls dropping into the fjord. Because the aircraft is small (usually a Dash 8), visibility is excellent from any window seat.
