Stunning panoramas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks piercing the clouds.

Book a morning flight to have the sun illuminating the Alpine glaciers to the west. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Rhine River castles; they appear in quick succession. Seasonal tip: Winter flights offer breathtaking views of the snow-covered Alps, but summer provides the best clarity for the Rhine Valley.
