Which side of the plane to sit from Sandane Airport (Anda) (Sandane) to Sogndal Airport (Sogndal)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled, front-row seats to the Jostedalsbreen glacier, the largest in mainland Europe, as the flight path skims the edge of the national park.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🧊

Jostedalsbreen Ice Cap

Massive views of the permanent ice field and its rugged mountain peaks during the cruise phase.

🏔️

Oldedalen Valley

A deep, dramatic glacial valley with steep cliffs and several visible glacier tongues like Briksdalsbreen.

🌊

Fjærlandsfjorden

A stunning green-hued fjord arm that leads directly into the heart of the glacier region.

🏘️

Sandane Center

Direct view of the village of Sandane and the Gloppefjord immediately after takeoff from Anda.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the glacier surfaces. This side is superior for seeing the sheer scale of the inland ice fields. Due to the very short flight time (approx 15-20 mins), have your camera ready the moment the seatbelt sign goes off.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛶

Nordfjord Panorama

Expansive views across the main Nordfjord artery heading toward the North Sea.

💎

Lovatnet Lake

Visible in the distance, famous for its incredible turquoise color caused by glacial silt.

✈️

Haukåsen Approach

Scenic descent over the high plateau before landing at one of Norway's most spectacularly located airports.

💧

Sognefjorden Crossing

A brief but majestic view of the 'King of the Fjords' just before the final approach into Sogndal.

Choose the right side if flying in the late afternoon to avoid the sun glare reflecting off the glaciers. This side provides a better sense of the coastal geography and the vastness of the Sognefjord system as you descend.
