TRD → BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views of Norway's rugged terrain, the Right Side provides a more dramatic and continuous panorama of the broken coastline, the Sunnmøre Alps, and the vast Atlantic horizon.
Hitra & Frøya
Large island communities off the coast of Trøndelag, surrounded by thousands of smaller islets.
The Atlantic Road
The winding coastal route near Kristiansund that jumps from island to island across the open sea.
Sunnmøre Alps
Extremely jagged peaks that rise directly from the fjords near Ålesund, creating a dramatic vertical landscape.
Nordfjord Opening
The wide entrance where the fjord meets the North Sea, often bustling with coastal steamers and fishing boats.
Bergen Archipelago
The final descent offers a bird's-eye view of the dense island network of Sotra and Øygarden protecting Bergen.
The right side is superior for coastal scenery and sunsets. During summer evening flights, you can watch the sun dip toward the North Sea. Choose a seat forward of the wing (Rows 1-10) to ensure an unobstructed view of the Sunnmøre Alps which are a major highlight mid-flight.
Trondheim City
A clear view of the Nidaros Cathedral and the colorful wharf houses along the Nidelva river shortly after takeoff.
Dovrefjell Mountains
The high-altitude alpine plateau known for its wild musk oxen and the iconic Snøhetta peak.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
Views of the largest glacier in continental Europe, appearing as a massive white expanse among the peaks.
Inner Sognefjord
The deep, narrow branches of the world's longest ice-free fjord cutting deep into the mountain massif.
Stølsheimen Highlands
A rugged mountain area between the Sognefjord and Bergen characterized by steep valleys and lakes.
Sit on the left for the best views of Norway's interior 'roof.' In winter, the snow-covered peaks are illuminated beautifully by the low sun. For photography, morning flights are better on this side to avoid direct sunlight and lens flare.
