SPU β GVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama featuring the dramatic peaks of the Alps, including a close-up of Mont Blanc and the full length of Lake Geneva during the approach.
Split Old Town
Direct views of Diocletian's Palace and the Split harbor immediately after takeoff.
Istrian Peninsula
The distinctive triangular shape of the Istrian coast and its Roman heritage towns.
The Dolomites
The iconic jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible to the north.
Mont Blanc Massif
Unrivaled views of the highest peak in Western Europe and its surrounding glaciers.
Lake Geneva
A full-length view of Lac LΓ©man, including the Jet d'Eau if landing from the north.
This is the 'Mont Blanc side.' As you enter Swiss airspace, keep your camera ready for the glaciers. If the plane lands from the northeast (Runway 22), you will see the entire city of Geneva and the fountain. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare while looking north toward the Alps.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Bird's-eye view of the crystal-clear waters and white-pebble beaches of the Croatian islands.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain range stretching along the Croatian and Slovenian coastlines.
Venetian Lagoon
Distant views of the historic canals and islands of Venice across the northern Adriatic.
Northern Italian Lakes
Looking down on the southern shores of Lake Garda and Lake Como as you cross Italy.
Jura Mountains
The lush, folded ridges of the Jura range visible during the final descent into Geneva.
Sit toward the back of the wing for the best views of the Istrian coast. During morning flights, this side will have the best lighting without direct sun glare, making it ideal for photography of the Po Valley and the southern Alpine foothills.
