Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Namsos Høknesøra Airport (Namsos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panoramic view of the rugged Norwegian coastline, the outer Trondheimsfjord, and the scattered islands of the Atlantic shelf as you head north.
Trondheimsfjord
Aerial view of Norway's third longest fjord with deep blue waters and surrounding hills.
Ørland Peninsula
The flat, strategic coastal tip of the Fosen peninsula with visible airbase infrastructure.
Fosen Archipelago
Countless small islands and skerries dotting the coastline toward the Norwegian Sea.
The Folda Sea
The transition into the open coastal waters known for dramatic wave patterns and maritime history.
Namsos Approach
A close-up view of the coastal topography and small settlements before turning inland for landing.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Since this route is often flown by Widerøe's Dash 8 aircraft, the high-wing design ensures an unobstructed view from almost any window seat. Look for the distinct lighthouse at Kjeungskjær shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Innherred Farmlands
Lush agricultural plains around Levanger and Steinkjer, often called the breadbasket of the north.
Fosen Alps
The interior mountains of the Fosen peninsula featuring rugged, snow-dusted peaks in winter.
Skarnsundet Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges spanning the narrowest part of the fjord.
Namsen River Valley
The winding 'Queen of Rivers' famous for salmon fishing, cutting through dense evergreen forests.
Swedish Border Peaks
On clear days, the high mountain ranges marking the border with Sweden are visible to the far east.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the inland valleys and mountain faces. It provides a better perspective of the Namsen river's meanders during the final descent into Høknesøra. Keep your eyes peeled for the deep green hues of the Børgefjell National Park mountains in the distance.
