SSJ → TRD
Which side of the plane to sit from Sandnessjøen Airport (Stokka) (Sandnessjoen) to Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Helgeland coast, including the famous Torghatten mountain and the UNESCO-listed Vega archipelago, where the mountains meet the Norwegian Sea.
Vega Archipelago
Thousands of small islands and reefs forming a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape.
Torghatten
The legendary mountain with a hole through its center, visible near Brønnøysund.
Leka Island
Unique red and yellow geological formations that look like a Martian landscape from above.
Atlantic Coastline
The jagged transition where the Scandinavian mountains drop into the Norwegian Sea.
Fosen Peninsula
Rugged coastal landscapes and lighthouses guiding ships into the Trondheim Fjord.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal lovers. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight for the hole in Torghatten. Afternoon flights offer spectacular sunset colors over the Atlantic. In summer, the midnight sun ensures visibility even on the late-night regional milk-run flights.
De Syv Søstre
The Seven Sisters mountain range rises dramatically just after takeoff from Sandnessjøen.
Vefsnfjord
Deep blue fjord waters carving into the rugged mainland terrain of Nordland.
Børgefjell Views
Distal views of the high alpine peaks along the Swedish border.
Stjørdal Valley
The lush agricultural landscape surrounding Værnes during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Seven Sisters mountains immediately after departure. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the mountain faces, highlighting the ridges and snow-filled couloirs. During winter, look for the city lights of Mosjøen and Steinkjer.
