Kalix River
Follow the path of one of Sweden's few remaining unregulated national rivers through the wilderness.
Gammelstad Church Town
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring over 400 red cottages surrounding a 15th-century stone church.
Luleå City Center
Excellent views of the urban peninsula and the iconic ironworks and harbor infrastructure.
Lake Persöfjärden
A prominent bird sanctuary and large lake located just north of the city of Luleå.
The right side is essential for spotting Gammelstad. Keep your camera ready about 5-8 minutes before touchdown. In winter, you can clearly see the 'Ice Road' that connects the city to the outer islands from this side.

Arctic Taiga
Dense, endless carpets of coniferous forest stretching toward the Finnish border.
Torne River Valley
Aerial perspectives of the massive river system that forms the natural border between Sweden and Finland.
Luleå Archipelago
As the plane turns for landing, you get a sweeping view of the brackish water islands in the Gulf of Bothnia.
Frozen Sea
During winter months, the sea ice often features intricate patterns and tracks from local snowmobiles.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during winter months. This side provides a better view of the sunrise over the Baltic horizon. Look out for the 'bifurcation' near Tärendö where the water splits between river systems.
