Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Mosjøen Airport (Kjærstad) (Mosjoen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the fertile Trøndelag valleys to the rugged, island-studded Helgeland coastline and deep western fjords.
Trondheimsfjord
Immediate views of the wide fjord and the Fosen peninsula after takeoff from Værnes.
Fosen Alps
The jagged peaks and snowy crests of the Fosen region provide a sharp contrast to the sea.
Foldafjord
A deep, dramatic fjord system known for its treacherous waters and steep surrounding cliffs.
Leka Island
Look for the unique yellow and red geological formations of this UNESCO Global Geopark island.
Helgeland Archipelago
Thousands of small islands and skerries dot the Norwegian Sea as you cross into Nordland county.
Sit forward of the wing on the Dash 8 aircraft for the best view of the coast. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct 'hole' in Torghatten mountain if the flight path swings slightly west.
Innherred Farmland
The lush, green agricultural heartland of central Norway around the town of Steinkjer.
Lake Snåsavatnet
Norway's sixth-largest lake, offering a serene view of deep blue water surrounded by dense forests.
Børgefjell National Park
Remote, high-alpine wilderness along the border with Sweden featuring untouched mountain plateaus.
Vefsn Valley
Dense pine forests and the winding Vefsna river as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Mosjøen Townscape
A great view of the historic Sjøgata area and the town center nestled between mountains upon landing.
This side is excellent for mountain enthusiasts, especially in late winter when the Børgefjell range is heavily snow-covered. On evening flights, the right side catches the warm glow of the setting sun over the inland peaks. Look for the E6 highway winding through the narrow valleys below.
