Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests of Southern Germany immediately following the departure from Stuttgart.
Swiss Alps
Iconic peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau massif in the central Swiss range.
Lake Zurich
Deep blue waters of the lake and the surrounding Swiss urban centers from the cruise altitude.
Milan
The sprawling metropolitan area of Italy's fashion capital visible on the western horizon.
Tuscan Vineyards
The classic rolling hills and cypress-lined roads of the Florence countryside during descent.
For afternoon flights, the right side is ideal as the sun is in the west, illuminating the high peaks of the Swiss Alps. Avoid seats over the wing (rows 10-20 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the Tuscan landscape during the steep landing into Peretola.

Lake Constance
Expansive views of the massive lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Austrian Alps
Snowy summits of the Vorarlberg region visible during the southern climb.
Bologna
The dense terracotta roofs of the historic city as you clear the Po Valley.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged mountain ridge that serves as the gateway to the Tuscany region.

Lush green valleys and racing circuits visible during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft light hitting Lake Constance and the Austrian Alps. This side is also better for spotting the historic center of Bologna as you cross into Tuscany.
