TRNMUC

Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic sequence of the Turin cityscape, the massive glaciers of the Bernina Range, and a direct view of Munich's iconic landmarks during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌆

Turin Skyline

A panoramic view of the Mole Antonelliana and the Po River winding through the city after takeoff.

❄️

Piz Bernina

The highest summit in the Eastern Alps featuring dramatic glaciers and the famous Bianco ridge.

🌲

Tyrolean Alps

Dense forests and jagged limestone peaks stretching across the Austrian border region.

⚽

Allianz Arena

The glowing 'inflatable' stadium of FC Bayern Munich is often visible during the final landing approach.

The right side is best for seeing the Munich city skyline and the Allianz Arena. In winter, late afternoon flights offer a spectacular 'Alpenglow' on the granite peaks. Keep your camera ready as you pass the High Alps for high-contrast ridge line shots.

Left Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Matterhorn and Monte Rosa

Iconic jagged peaks visible in the distance to the west shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

💧

Lake Maggiore

Stunning views of the deep blue waters and the Borromean Islands as you cross the Italian border.

🌊

Lake Constance

The massive Bodensee marking the border triangle of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

🗻

Zugspitze

Germany's highest mountain standing tall as the aircraft enters Bavarian airspace.

Sit on the left for the best views of the high glaciers and the deep blue Alpine lakes. Morning flights are ideal to avoid sun glare and see the western faces of the peaks clearly. A seat forward of the wing is recommended for unobstructed views of the water features.
