Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic peaks of the Southern Carpathians, including the Făgăraș range and the highest summits in Romania.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Făgăraș Mountains

Spectacular views of the 'Transylvanian Alps,' featuring the highest peaks Moldoveanu and Negoiu.

❄️

Bâlea Lake

A high-altitude glacial lake nestled deep within the mountain ridges, often surrounded by snow.

⛪

Curtea de Argeș

View of the historic monastery and the burial site of the Romanian Royal Family.

🏰

Târgoviște

The medieval former capital of Wallachia, visible as the flight transitions into the plains.

Opt for an early morning flight to see the Făgăraș peaks illuminated by the rising sun. During winter, the snow-covered ridges are exceptionally striking. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the climb over the mountains happens quickly.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
💧

Olt Valley

The deep, winding gorge of the Olt River as it cuts through the Carpathian range.

🌲

Cozia National Park

Rugged limestone massifs and dense forests characteristic of the Căpățânii Mountains.

🏗️

Pitești City

A clear view of the industrial and automotive hub of the Argeș region.

🚤

Snagov Lake

A large, distinctive lake and forest area located just north of Bucharest before the final approach.

The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. It provides a superior view of the Olt River's path through the mountains. During descent, look for the Snagov Monastery located on an island in the lake.
