Which side of the plane to sit from Stokmarknes Skagen Airport (Stokmarknes) to Tromsø Airport, (Tromso)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Lyngen Alps and the rugged interior mountains of Hinnøya, providing a more dramatic alpine experience.
Hinnøya
Norway's largest island features massive, snow-capped glaciated peaks and deep valleys.
Harstad
Spot this historical coastal town nestled along the Vågsfjorden shoreline early in the flight.
Lyngen Alps
Iconic, steep peaks reaching over 1,800 meters, visible during the final 15 minutes.
Balsfjorden
A scenic, narrow fjord that guides the flight path directly into the Tromsø airport approach.
Mountain Glaciers
High-altitude glaciers nestled in remote valleys are often visible on clear days.
The right side is superior for viewing the massive Lyngen Alps during the final approach phase. Sit here for the best views of the high inland mountains and glaciers. If flying in the morning, the eastern sun hits the peaks perfectly for high-contrast photography.
Vesterålen Coast
Stunning views of the transition from rugged mountains to the deep blue Norwegian Sea.
Senja Island
Look for the sharp, jagged peaks known as the Devil's Teeth on the island's outer coast.
Andøya
Spot the flat, expansive marshlands and the general vicinity of the famous space center.
Tromsø Overview
A beautiful view of the city islands, bridges, and the Kvaløya mountains during descent.
Midnight Sun
During summer months, this side catches the golden light of the sun low on the horizon.
Choose this side for coastal sunset views and a chance to see the dramatic western peaks of Senja island. In winter, this is the ideal side to watch for the Aurora Borealis over the open ocean. Sit away from the wing on the Widerøe Dash 8 aircraft for unobstructed photo angles.
