Which side of the plane to sit from Sandane Airport (Anda) (Sandane) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Norway's most dramatic alpine scenery, including the sprawling Jostedalsbreen glacier and the highest peaks of the Jotunheimen mountain range.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
View the largest glacier in mainland Europe, showing massive blue-ice plateaus and outlet glaciers.
Jotunheimen National Park
The 'Home of the Giants' features Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind, Norway's two highest mountains.
Nordfjorden
Directly after takeoff, capture the emerald waters of the fjord framed by steep mountainsides.
Lake Mjøsa
As the plane descends towards Oslo, Norway's largest lake becomes visible to the northeast.
Valdres Region
Fly over the high-altitude valleys and traditional mountain farming communities of central Norway.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the glacier fields. About 10 minutes after takeoff from Sandane, look specifically for the Briksdalsbreen glacier arm. In winter, this side offers the best views of snow-covered alpine peaks illuminated by the southern sun.
Sognefjorden
The world's longest and deepest ice-free fjord, stretching over 200 kilometers inland.
Hallingskarvet
A distinctive mountain plateau characterized by its long, steep cliffs and flat top.
Oslo Cityscape
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the Oslofjord and the city center including the Opera House.
Nordmarka Forest
The vast protected forest area surrounding Oslo, dotted with hundreds of small lakes.
Tyrifjorden
A large, beautiful lake located just west of Oslo, visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the western horizon. During the descent into Gardermoen, watch for the shift from rugged mountains to the flatter, forested landscapes of Eastern Norway. If the plane approaches from the south, you'll get a great view of the Oslofjord islands.
