Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged spine of the Scandinavian Mountains and the high-altitude wilderness of the border region before descending over the Swedish lake district.
Scandinavian Divide
Direct views over the high-altitude peaks and plateaus that form the natural border between the two nations.
Jämtland Wilderness
Vast stretches of untouched taiga forest and boggy terrain that turn vibrant gold in autumn or stark white in winter.
Lake Storsjön
Look for Sweden's fifth largest lake near Östersund, often partially visible depending on the exact flight path.
Mälaren Waterways
During the final approach, the intricate network of islands and bridges leading toward Stockholm comes into clear focus.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic mountain scenery early in the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east. In winter, keep an eye out for the Northern Lights if flying at night, though the cabin lights may interfere.
Trondheimsfjord
Expansive views of Norway's third-longest fjord and the coastal landscape shortly after takeoff from Værnes.
Sylan Mountain Range
The eastern face of these jagged peaks provides a dramatic backdrop as you cross from Norway into Sweden.
Lake Siljan
A striking view of the circular lake in Dalarna, which was created by a massive meteorite impact 377 million years ago.
Uppsala Skyline
On the descent, spot the tall twin spires of the Uppsala Cathedral and the historic university buildings.
Sit on the left for better views of the Swedish cultural heartland and the historic city of Uppsala. This side is also preferred during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun as it moves toward the west.
