Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Swiss Alpine peaks, the dramatic Ligurian coastline, and a full-length panorama of Corsica's rugged mountains before the final approach into Sardinia.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Distant but clear views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks piercing the skyline.

Gulf of Genoa

The dramatic curve of the Italian Riviera where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.

⛰️

Corsican Spine

The rugged granite peaks of Corsica's interior, often snow-capped well into the spring.

⚓

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow, turquoise channel separating Corsica from Sardinia, featuring white limestone cliffs.

Costa Smeralda

The world-famous 'Emerald Coast' with its hidden coves and ultra-clear turquoise waters.
