Which side of the plane to sit from Tromsø Airport, (Tromso) to Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Norwegian coastline, including the dramatic Lofoten archipelago, thousands of islands along the Helgeland coast, and iconic landmarks like Torghatten.
Senja Island
Dramatic coastal scenery known as 'Norway in miniature', featuring sharp ridges that drop vertically into the Atlantic.
Lofoten Wall
A spectacular view of the jagged granite peaks of the Lofoten archipelago stretching out into the Norwegian Sea.
Helgeland Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of over 14,000 islands, islets, and reefs dotting the turquoise coastal waters.
The Seven Sisters
The famous mountain range (Syv Søstre) near Sandnessjøen, where seven distinct peaks rise directly from the water.
Torghatten Mountain
The legendary mountain with a hole through its center; look closely as you pass the town of Brønnøysund.
The right side is significantly more scenic for coastal photography. Choose this side for evening flights to catch the 'Midnight Sun' effect in summer or the glow of the sunset over the Atlantic. Try to secure a seat away from the wing to clearly spot Torghatten, which appears briefly as the plane begins its gradual descent toward Trondheim.
Lyngen Alps
Stunning jagged peaks and glaciers located just south of Tromsø, reaching elevations over 1,800 meters.
Svartisen Glacier
Norway's second-largest glacier system, visible as an expansive white ice field among the rugged interior mountains.
Arctic Circle Crossing
The flight crosses the Arctic Circle over the Saltfjellet mountain range, characterized by desolate, high-altitude plateaus.
Børgefjell National Park
A wild, roadless landscape on the border of Trøndelag and Nordland, featuring high peaks and alpine lakes.
Sit on this side during morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight and glare from the sea. This side provides a better view of the deep interior valleys and the Swedish border mountains. Keep an eye out for the transition from the high Arctic tundra to the greener forests of Central Norway.
