Julian Alps
Spectacular views of Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia, known for its distinct three-headed shape.
Hohe Tauern Range
A stunning flyover of Austria's highest mountains, featuring glaciers and the majestic Grossglockner peak.
Bavarian Landscapes
Overlooking the dense forests and rolling hills of Southern Germany as the plane heads north.
Harz Mountains
View the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist or snow during winter months.
For the best visibility of the Alps, book a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the peaks. In winter, the snow-covered mountains are exceptionally bright, so sunglasses are recommended. On the approach to Hamburg, the left side often sees the Alster lakes if the wind requires a northern landing pattern.
