RYGBGY

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the transition from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, the Right Side is superior for its direct views of the Swiss Alps and the dramatic descent over Lake Como and the Prealps.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🇳🇴

Southern Norway Coastline

Rugged views of the rocky southern coast and the deep blue waters of the Skagerrak sea.

⚓

Hamburg & Elbe River

The massive port of Hamburg and the winding Elbe river are frequently visible when crossing the German border.

💧

Lake Constance

The vast tri-border lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria marks the beginning of the Alpine crossing.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Unrivaled panoramas of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland and the central Swiss massifs.

🇮🇹

Lake Como

The iconic inverted 'Y' shaped lake and the city of Lecco are prominently visible during the low-altitude approach into Bergamo.

The right side is the definitive choice for the Alps. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Como during the descent. Afternoon flights provide the most dramatic lighting on the alpine glaciers and peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Oslofjord

Aerial views of the intricate islands and narrow channels of the fjord immediately following departure from Rygge.

🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Clear views of the islands of Zealand and Falster as the flight path crosses from Scandinavia into mainland Europe.

🌲

Harz Mountains

A view of the northernmost mountain range in Germany, known for its dense forests and the high Brocken peak.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The distinct, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps are visible to the southeast during the high-altitude cruise.

🛶

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is often visible in the distance to the east as the aircraft begins its final descent sequence.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare and to see the sunrise reflecting off the Oslofjord. This side is also excellent for spotting the silhouette of the Dolomites against the horizon in the late afternoon.
