Folgefonna Glacier
One of Norway's largest glaciers, appearing as a massive white plateau perched high above the Hardangerfjord.
Sognefjorden
Stunning views looking deep into the 'King of Fjords,' with steep mountainsides dropping into turquoise waters.
Jostedalsbreen
The largest glacier in mainland Europe, visible as a vast ice cap dominating the mountain range.
Sunnmøre Alps
Jagged, alpine peaks around Ørsta and Volda that remain snow-capped even during much of the summer.
Trondheim City
During the descent into Værnes, you can often spot the Nidaros Cathedral and the colorful houses lining the Nidelva river.
The right side is a photographer's dream. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes into the flight for the glaciers. In winter, the low sun creates long shadows that accentuate the relief of the fjords. Note that the approach to TRD often follows the Trondheimsfjord, so look for the historical Munkholmen island on the right as you descend.

Boknafjorden Islands
A complex network of islands and islets immediately north of Stavanger, showcasing the rugged coastline.
Haugesund Coastline
Views of the coastal town and the narrow Karmsundet strait, often busy with maritime traffic.
Outer Sognefjord
The mouth of Norway's longest fjord, where the deep blue water meets the North Sea.
Kristiansund
A unique city built across four islands connected by bridges, visible just before the final leg toward Trondheim.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the best side for spotting the iconic lighthouses that dot the western coast. On clear days, the horizon seems infinite, offering a sense of the vastness of the Norwegian Sea.
