Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic 'De Syv Søstre' (Seven Sisters) mountain range immediately after takeoff, providing one of the most dramatic alpine-coastal views in Norway.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
⛰️

The Seven Sisters

The legendary Seven Sisters mountain range (De Syv Søstre) towers over the Alstenfjorden right after departure.

🏘️

Tjøtta Village

A historic agricultural and coastal settlement located at the southern tip of Alsten island.

🏔️

Velfjord Mountains

Rugged, snow-capped peaks and deep glacial carved fjords that define the mainland interior.

⚓

Brønnøysund Harbor

Aerial view of the narrow strait and the bridge connecting the city as you prepare for landing.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the granite peaks of the Seven Sisters. This flight is extremely short (approx. 20 mins), so keep your camera ready from the moment the wheels leave the ground. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the jagged textures of the mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🦆

Vega Archipelago

A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of over 6,500 islands, islets, and reefs in the Atlantic.

🌊

Helgeland Coast

The intricate 'Skjærgård' landscape featuring crystal clear turquoise waters and shallow white sands.

⛰️

Torghatten

The world-famous mountain with a hole through its center, visible just south of Brønnøysund during the descent.

🚢

Coastal Shipping Lane

The main artery for the Hurtigruten and local ferries navigating the narrow coastal channels.

The right side is superior for sunset flights, as the sun dips into the Atlantic over the Vega islands. On the final approach to BNN, look slightly forward and down to spot Torghatten; the hole is best seen when the plane is positioned to the north of the mountain.
