Which side of the plane to sit from Stord Airport (Stord) to Molde Airport (Molde)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft provides a breathtaking gallery of Norway's most iconic landscapes, including the jagged Sunnmøre Alps and the deep, glacial Sognefjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Sunnmøre Alps

World-renowned alpine peaks that rise over 1,500 meters directly from the fjord level, offering dramatic vertical relief.

🏘️

Bergen and Ulriken

A clear view of Norway's second-largest city and its surrounding seven mountains shortly after departure from Stord.

🧊

Sognefjord Interior

Aerial perspective of where the world's longest ice-free fjord cuts deep into the Norwegian heartland towards the glaciers.

❄️

Jostedalsbreen Glimpse

On clear days, the massive white expanse of mainland Europe's largest glacier is visible on the eastern horizon.

The right side is superior for mountain photography. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the fjords. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the eastern mountains, while midday sun illuminates the deep blue of the fjord water.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Atlantic Archipelago

A stunning view of the thousands of small islands and rocky skerries that form the protective barrier for the inner shipping lanes.

⛰️

Stadlandet Peninsula

The westernmost point of mainland Norway, characterized by steep cliffs and a plateau that drops sharply into the turbulent sea.

⚓

Coastal Shipping Lanes

Watch for the Hurtigruten or large cargo ships navigating the narrow channels between the outer islands and the mainland.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the sun dipping below the North Sea horizon. During the winter months, keep an eye out for the flickering lights of remote fishing villages along the dark coastline.
