TRN β CRL
Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Mont Blanc massif and the highest peaks of the Western Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by a panoramic view of Lake Geneva.
Mont Blanc Massif
Europe's highest peak is clearly visible shortly after departure from Turin, offering a dramatic display of glaciers.
Gran Paradiso
View the rugged peaks and glaciers of Italy's oldest national park as the plane climbs North.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Western Europe's largest lake appears as you cross into Swiss/French airspace.
Jura Mountains
See the long, parallel ridges of the Jura range that define the border between France and Switzerland.
Ardennes Forest
As you descend towards Charleroi, the dense, rolling hills of the Belgian Ardennes provide a lush green landscape.
Sit on the left for the most direct view of Mont Blanc. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making it better for photography. Watch closely 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic alpine scenery.
Monte Rosa & Matterhorn
The second highest peak in the Alps and the iconic pyramid of the Matterhorn are visible to the Northeast.
Turin Cityscape
A beautiful overview of the Mole Antonelliana and the Po River immediately after takeoff.
Bernese Oberland
Distant views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight passes over the Swiss plateau.
Luxembourg & Lorraine
The historic landscape of the Moselle valley and the transition into the flatlands of Northern Europe.
Meuse Valley
The winding Meuse river and the industrial heritage of the Namur region during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for spotting the Matterhorn's unique profile in the distance. In the late afternoon, the sunlight hits the Alps from the West, illuminating the peaks visible from this side with a golden glow.
