Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Kristiansand Airport (Kristiansand)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the rugged Norwegian interior, featuring massive glaciers like Jostedalsbreen, the vast Hardangervidda plateau, and the dramatic fjords as you traverse the spine of the country.
Trollheimen
Sharp, dramatic peaks and deep alpine valleys visible shortly after departing Trondheim.
Jostedalsbreen
The edges of mainland Europe's largest glacier can be seen as a massive white expanse to the west.
Hardangervidda
Northern Europe's largest mountain plateau, a vast and desolate tundra landscape.
Hardangerfjord Region
Breathtaking glimpses of deep fjords cutting into the mountainous terrain from the west.
Folgefonna Glacier
A stunning white ice cap that stands out brilliantly against the dark rocky terrain.
The right side is premier for afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the glaciers. Use a tracking app to identify the Jostedalsbreen and Folgefonna glaciers. The scale of the Hardangervidda plateau is best appreciated from this side as it stretches toward the horizon.
Trondheimsfjord
Aerial views of the deep blue inner fjord and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Trøndelag.
Dovrefjell Mountains
Stark, rounded peaks that form an ancient landscape home to the wild musk ox.
Gaustatoppen
The isolated, conical peak of Telemark's highest mountain is often visible in the distance during the cruise phase.
Southern Forests
Dense, rolling green forests and numerous small lakes characteristic of the Agder region.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare, providing clear views of the mountain shadows. Keep an eye out for Gaustatoppen's unique silhouette mid-flight. During the descent, you will see the dense forest canopy of Southern Norway before landing at Kjevik.
