TRDOSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic mountain scenery, including the rugged Trollheimen and Dovrefjell ranges, along with distant views of Norway's highest peaks in Jotunheimen.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Trollheimen Mountains

A spectacular range of pointed peaks and deep valleys visible early in the flight.

🏔️

Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella

Home to the massive Snøhetta peak and the wild musk ox plateau.

🏔️

Jotunheimen Horizon

On clear days, see the distant jagged skyline of Norway's highest mountains.

🚜

Gudbrandsdalen

The legendary long valley of Norway with the winding Lågen river below.

🌾

Mjøsa Western Shore

Fertile farmlands and the town of Gjøvik visible during the descent into OSL.

The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks. If landing from the north, you will get a perfect view of the agricultural heartland of Viken just before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Trondheimsfjord

Panoramic views of the fjord and the city of Trondheim immediately after departure.

🏔️

Rondane National Park

Iconic rounded mountain peaks known for their blue hue and dramatic alpine tundra.

🌲

Østerdalen Valley

Vast, deep green coniferous forests stretching toward the Swedish border.

🚤

Lake Mjøsa (East)

Aerial view of Norway's largest lake and the urban center of Hamar.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Swedish border. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'U' shaped valleys of Rondane roughly 20 minutes into the flight. During winter, this side catches the early morning 'blue hour' light beautifully.
