Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning vantage point over the Northern Ural Mountains, featuring rugged peaks and the transition from the industrial heart of the Urals to the pristine Siberian wilderness.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Ural Mountain Range

The ancient boundary between Europe and Asia, visible as a continuous ridge to the west.

🏔️

Konzhakovskiy Kamen

One of the highest peaks in the region, often snow-capped well into late spring.

🌲

Pristine Taiga

Dense, untouched coniferous forests stretching toward the horizon as you head north.

🌊

Lozva River Bends

The intricate, winding patterns of the Lozva river cutting through the dark green forest.

💧

Ob River Floodplain

A massive network of channels and wetlands as the flight approaches the Beloyarsky region.

Book a window seat on the left for sunset flights to see the Ural peaks silhouetted against the sky. During winter months, the contrast between the white mountain ridges and the dark forest is exceptionally photogenic. Watch for the 'Poyasovyy Kamen' ridge as you cross the 60th parallel.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Yekaterinburg Skyline

A great view of the Ural capital's skyscrapers and the Iset River shortly after takeoff.

⛪

Verkhoturye

The historic spiritual center of the Urals, visible with its prominent monastery domes.

🛶

West Siberian Lakes

Countless small, perfectly round thermokarst lakes dotting the flat marshy landscape.

🏗️

Oil & Gas Infrastructure

Occasional sightings of pipeline clearings and industrial outposts characteristic of the Khanty-Mansi region.

☁️

Vasyugan Swamp Edge

The beginning of the world's largest swamp system, showing unique moss and water patterns.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Siberian Plain. It offers a better view of the city of Yekaterinburg during the initial climb. If you are interested in the geography of the Siberian wetlands and industrial development, this side provides more detail on the flat eastern horizon.
