SKE โ BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Skien Airport (Skien) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high-altitude landscapes including the Hardangervidda plateau, iconic glaciers, and the inner Hardangerfjord's most dramatic cliff faces.
Gaustatoppen
The iconic pyramid-shaped peak of Telemark, visible in the distance shortly after departure.
Hardangervidda
Europe's largest high-mountain plateau, featuring vast tundra and seasonal snow patches.
Folgefonna Glacier
Norway's third-largest glacier, appearing as a massive white ice sheet atop the mountains.
Inner Hardangerfjord
Direct views into deep, narrow fjord arms like Sรธrfjorden with sheer cliffs dropping into the water.
Mount Ulriken
The highest of Bergen's seven mountains, visible just before touchdown at Flesland.
The right side is essential for glacier spotting. In winter, the Hardangervidda looks like an arctic wasteland; in summer, look for the turquoise glacial meltwater in the fjords. Morning flights provide the best direct sunlight on the mountain faces.
Telemark Wilderness
Dense pine forests and the winding lake systems of central Telemark shortly after takeoff.
Haukelifjell Peaks
Rugged mountain terrain and alpine passes marking the transition toward Western Norway.
Hardangerfjord Mouth
Sweeping views of the southern fjord branches meeting the coastal landscape.
Sotra Archipelago
On final approach, view the countless rocky islands and coastal villages scattered along the North Sea.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights and better views of the North Sea horizon as you descend into Bergen. It is particularly scenic during sunset when the water reflects the sky.
