Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Leirin Airport (Fagernes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Norway's largest lake, Mjøsa, and the dramatic transition into the rugged alpine terrain of the Valdres region.
Lake Mjøsa
Vast views of Norway's largest inland lake stretching towards the north-east.
Gjøvik Region
The urban clusters around the lake contrast sharply with the surrounding deep green hills.
Synnfjell Massif
As the flight approaches Fagernes, the majestic peaks of Synnfjell become prominent landmarks.
Valdres Valley
The descent into Leirin provides a panoramic sweep of the agricultural heart of the Valdres region.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over Lake Mjøsa. During the descent into Fagernes, keep an eye out for the distant snow-capped fringes of the Jotunheimen mountains on the northern horizon.
Romerike Wilderness
Dense evergreen forests immediately after departing Oslo Gardermoen.
Lake Randsfjorden
Excellent views of this long, narrow lake as you climb towards cruising altitude.
Vassfaret Peaks
The rugged hills of this historic wilderness area dominate the horizon to the west.
Sit on the left for softer afternoon lighting and better views of the hidden valleys of the south-west. During winter, look for the intricate patterns of frozen lake surfaces and snow-laden forest canopies.
