The High Coast
The world's highest coastline with dramatic cliffs rising directly from the sea.
Sundsvall Bridge
A striking view of the long bridge crossing the Sundsvall bay and the city below.
Boreal Forests
Vast stretches of Swedish taiga forest that look particularly impressive under winter snow.
Coastal Settlements
Aerial perspectives of historic towns like Hudiksvall and Gävle during the transit south.
Uppland Countryside
The transition from rugged northern terrain to the flatter, lake-rich landscape of Uppland.
The right side is the prime choice for this route. For the best photography, book an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, perfectly illuminating the High Coast cliffs. Ensure you sit clear of the wing to see the dramatic transition from the Norrland mountains to the agricultural plains of the south. In winter, the landscape is often illuminated by a low-hanging sun, creating long, dramatic shadows across the forest.

Gulf of Bothnia
Expansive views of the brackish northern Baltic Sea stretching toward Finland.
High Coast Archipelago
The outer clusters of the UNESCO-listed archipelago, featuring remote islands like Ulvön.
Morning Glow
On early morning flights, the sun rises directly over the horizon, reflecting off the sea.
Opt for this side on early morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. While less varied than the land side, it offers a serene maritime perspective and better views of ship traffic entering northern industrial ports.
