Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a spectacular vantage point over the rugged coastline, the scattered islands of Vikna, and the expansive entrance to the Trondheimsfjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Vikna Archipelago

An incredible mosaic of over 6,000 islands and islets visible immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Folla Sea Stretch

The dramatic and often turbulent open sea stretch where the coast meets the Atlantic.

⛰️

Fosen Peninsula

A rugged landscape of coastal mountains, fjords, and hidden fishing villages.

🚢

Trondheimsfjord

The deep blue waters of the fjord system as the flight turns toward the approach path.

⛪

Trondheim Skyline

Distant views of the Nidaros Cathedral and the city harbor during the final descent.

Book the right side for sunset flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Norwegian Sea. This side is superior for coastal photography, especially during the first 15 minutes of flight. If the plane approaches Værnes from the west, you will get a perfect view of the Frosta peninsula and the fjord.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Namdalen Forests

Dense boreal forests and the winding Namsen river valley stretching toward the interior.

🏔️

Trøndelag Highlands

Rolling mountain plateaus and snowy peaks that define the border region toward Sweden.

💧

Lake Snåsavatnet

Distant views of Norway's sixth-largest lake, a long and narrow body of water.

🚜

Verdal Plains

The transition into the fertile agricultural heartland of Trøndelag as the plane descends.

🏁

Stjørdal Valley

Low-altitude views of the suburban and rural landscapes surrounding Værnes airport.

The left side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the inland mountain ranges. During the winter months, this side offers the best chance to spot the Northern Lights away from the coastal moisture. Watch for the sharp transition from forest to farmland as you pass Steinkjer.
