Which side of the plane to sit from Sandnessjøen Airport (Stokka) (Sandnessjoen) to Brønnøysund Airport (Bronnoysund)?
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.
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.
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.
