The dense forests of the Bohemian Forest bordering the Czech Republic and Germany.

The iconic trio of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau visible in the distance across the Swiss plateau.
Mont Blanc
Western Europe's highest peak dominates the horizon as the aircraft maneuvers for approach.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. About 15-20 minutes before landing, look south to spot the glaciated peaks of the High Alps. During winter, the snow-covered landscapes of the Czech-Bavarian border are particularly striking.

The right side is excellent for seeing the Jura mountain range's unique topography. If the plane approaches Geneva from the north (Runway 22), you will get a superior view of the lake's expanse and the city center. In the afternoon, this side may experience more direct sunlight glare.
