The Seven Sisters
The legendary 'De Syv Søstre' mountain range towers over the landscape as you descend into Sandnessjøen.
Vega Archipelago
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring a vast network of shallow waters and thousands of tiny islands.
Hurtigruten Route
Spot the famous coastal steamers navigating the narrow shipping lanes of the inner coast.
Lake Mjøsa
Norway's largest lake is clearly visible shortly after takeoff, stretching toward Hamar and Lillehammer.
Dønnamannen
The profile of the 'Dønna Man' mountain becomes visible across the fjord just before landing.
For the best photography, sit ahead of the wing to capture the Seven Sisters without engine heat distortion. On evening flights in summer, the low sun illuminates the mountains with a golden glow, while in winter, this side offers the best chance to spot the Northern Lights over the ocean.
