Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the majestic Folgefonna Glacier and the expansive Hardangerfjord as you descend into Bergen, providing the most iconic Norwegian mountain-to-fjord transition.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌲

Telemark Forests

Dense pine forests and shimmering lakes of the Telemark region shortly after takeoff from Sandefjord.

⛰️

Gaustatoppen

The pyramid-shaped peak of Southern Norway's most famous mountain, visible on clear days.

❄️

Hardangervidda Plateau

Crossing the vast, Arctic-like mountain plateau, which remains snow-covered for much of the year.

🧊

Folgefonna Glacier

Stunning aerial views of the blue-tinted ice and snowfields of Norway's third-largest glacier.

💧

Hardangerfjord

The dramatic descent alongside one of the world's most beautiful fjords with steep mountains dropping into the sea.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the glacier. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the south, highlighting the textures of the Hardangervidda plateau. In winter, look for the 'frozen' appearance of the high-altitude lakes.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Numedal Valley

A bird's-eye view of the historic 'Medieval Valley' with its traditional wooden architecture and winding rivers.

🏔️

Hallingskarvet

The massive and distinctive mountain ridge that marks the northern border of the plateau.

🌊

Inner Hardanger Branches

Views into the deep, narrow fjord branches like Eidfjord and Osa, showcasing extreme verticality.

🏘️

Bergen Archipelago

The final approach provides a look at the countless islands and rocky outcrops surrounding Bergen.

The right side is superior for evening flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the North Sea and the rocky coast as the plane turns toward Flesland. Keep an eye out for the vast, treeless tundra of northern Hardangervidda, where wild reindeer herds are occasionally visible as small specks.
