Search flights from TOS to SOJ
Tromsdalstinden
The iconic 1,238-meter peak that looms over Tromsø, visible almost immediately after takeoff.
Lyngen Alps
A breathtaking panorama of jagged summits and glaciers spanning the Lyngen peninsula.
Lyngenfjorden
Norway's majestic fjord reflecting the high alpine peaks in its deep waters.
Straumfjorden
Dramatic low-altitude views of the narrow fjords during the final approach into Sørkjosen.
The right side is essential for viewing the Lyngen Alps, the main attraction of this route. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 20-25 minutes), passengers should stay alert from takeoff to landing. In the summer, the late evening sun provides spectacular 'Alpine Glow' on the mountain faces. Request a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the steep valley descents.

Tromsøya Island
Aerial perspective of Tromsø city and its iconic bridges shortly after takeoff.
Grøtsundet Strait
The deep blue waterway separating the mainland from the northern coastal islands.
Reinøya and Ringvassøya
Rugged, windswept islands showcasing the wild nature of the Arctic coast.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the open sea and the northern island archipelago. During the winter months, this side faces north/northwest, making it ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis during evening flights without the glare of the mainland mountains. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure for the best city shots.
