Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Helgeland coastline and the UNESCO-listed Vega archipelago shortly after takeoff, followed by distant views of Norway's highest peaks.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Vega Archipelago

The UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of over 6,500 islands, skerry, and reefs.

🪨

Torghatten

The legendary mountain with a natural hole through its center, located just south of Brønnøysund.

🌊

Helgeland Coast

One of the world's most beautiful coastlines with intricate fjords and thousands of small islands.

🏔️

Jotunheimen

Distant views of Scandinavia's highest peaks, including Galdhøpiggen, appearing on the western horizon.

🌾

Romerike Landscape

The rolling agricultural heartland of eastern Norway as the aircraft descends into Oslo.

Keep your eyes peeled 5 to 10 minutes after takeoff to spot the hole in Torghatten mountain. A late evening flight during the summer months offers a stunning sunset over the Norwegian Sea. This side is also generally better for viewing the high peaks of Jotunheimen mid-flight.

⛰️

The Seven Sisters

Dramatic view of the iconic De syv søstre mountain range immediately after takeoff from Sandnessjøen.

🏔️

Børgefjell National Park

A glimpse of the remote, high-alpine wilderness on the border between Norway and Sweden.

🌲

Trøndelag Forests

Vast stretches of deep coniferous forests and winding river valleys as the flight moves inland.

🏔️

Rondane National Park

View of the distinctive, massive rounded peaks of Norway's oldest national park to the southeast.

💧

Lake Mjøsa

Norway's largest lake, featuring the cities of Lillehammer and Hamar along its eastern banks.

Sit on the left for an immediate view of the Seven Sisters right after departure. For the best lighting on these peaks, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern rock faces. During winter, look for the 'Blue Hour' glow over the interior mountains.
