SOGSDN

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

Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Jostedalsbreen glacier, the largest in mainland Europe, along with the deep emerald-colored fjords branching inland.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
❄️

Jostedalsbreen Glacier

Unrivaled views of the massive ice cap and its various glacier tongues flowing down toward the valleys.

🏞️

Fjærlandsfjorden

A stunning view of the narrow fjord arm known for its distinct bright green color caused by glacial meltwater.

⛰️

Nordfjord Descent

The approach into Sandane provides a close-up look at the steep cliffs and turquoise waters of the inner Nordfjord.

🧊

Supphellebreen

Look for this specific glacier arm which is one of the most accessible and visible from high altitudes in the region.

This is a very short flight, usually under 30 minutes, so stay alert immediately after takeoff. The right side is essential for seeing the glacier. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the ice fields from the east, making the blue ice pop against the rock.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Sognefjorden

The plane departs over the world's longest ice-free fjord, offering views of the massive waterway winding toward the sea.

🏔️

Sunnfjord Massifs

Rugged, snow-capped peaks and high-altitude plateaus that define the landscape between the two airports.

🏘️

Sogndalsfjøra

A beautiful view of the regional center of Sogndal nestled at the base of steep mountains during the climb out.

Choose the left side for wide-angle perspectives of the coastal mountain ranges. In the late afternoon, the light hits the western slopes of the mountains, creating dramatic shadows across the fjord valleys.
