OSLSRP

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Hardangerfjord and the iconic Hardangerjøkulen glacier, providing a more rugged and quintessentially Norwegian landscape compared to the southern side.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Jotunheimen National Park

Distant but majestic views of Norway's highest peaks to the north during the initial cruising phase.

🧊

Hardangerjøkulen Glacier

A spectacular view of the massive circular ice cap near Finse, famously used as the location for the ice planet Hoth.

⛴️

Hardangerfjord

Aerial perspective of one of Norway's most beautiful fjords, featuring steep cliffs and lush fruit-growing hillsides.

🏝️

Stord Archipelago

The final approach provides a stunning look at the clusters of islands and islets surrounding the airport.

The right side is the 'glacier side.' Keep your eyes peeled roughly 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the Hardangerjøkulen ice cap. Evening flights provide spectacular lighting over the fjords as the sun sets over the North Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Oslo Suburbs

Clear views of the northern outskirts of Oslo and the surrounding dense forests of Oslomarka shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Hardangervidda Plateau

The vast, rolling tundra of Europe's largest high-mountain plateau, dotted with thousands of small lakes.

🧊

Folgefonna Glacier

Views of the southern reaches of Norway's third-largest glacier as the aircraft begins its descent toward the coast.

🌊

Bømlafjorden

The deep blue waters of the fjord system that separates the island of Stord from the mainland to the south.

Sit on the left for softer, front-lit views of the mountain plateaus during morning flights. This side is also better for spotting the distinct peak of Gaustatoppen far to the southwest on clear days.
