Namdalen Mountains
Rugged, often snow-capped peaks and deep forested valleys of the inner Nord-Trøndelag region.
Torghatten Mountain
The iconic mountain with a natural hole through its center, visible south of the destination near the town of Brønnøysund.
The Seven Sisters
The legendary 'De Syv Søstre' mountain range, featuring seven distinct peaks standing side-by-side along the Alsten island.
Helgeland Fjords
Deep glacial inlets like Vefsnfjorden carving into the mainland with dramatic vertical cliffs and waterfalls.
The right side is essential for viewing the Seven Sisters. Sit here for morning flights to see the peaks illuminated by the rising sun. Watch closely during the final descent into Sandnessjøen, as the aircraft often flies parallel to these mountains, offering a breathtaking perspective of their sheer height and proximity to the runway.

The UNESCO-protected cluster of islands known for traditional eider down harvesting and stunning shallow, turquoise waters.
Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the Norwegian Sea, offering spectacular light during the long summer evenings or winter's blue hour.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Norwegian Sea. It is also the best side to spot the UNESCO-listed Vega islands, which appear as a vast carpet of tiny landmasses stretching toward the horizon. Keep a lookout for the coastal lighthouses that dot the outer reefs.
