Which side of the plane to sit from Umeå Airport (Umea) to Åre Östersund Airport (Östersund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic perspective of the major river valleys and provides the best angle for viewing the Scandinavian mountain range foothills and the expansive Lake Storsjön during the descent into Östersund.

Umeälven River
A clear view of the winding Ume River valley shortly after takeoff, showing the artery of the Västerbotten region.
Scandinavian Mountains
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the 'Fjäll' are visible on the western horizon.
Lake Storsjön
A spectacular view of Sweden's fifth-largest lake and the island of Frösön during the final approach.
This is the best side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch closely during the last 10 minutes of flight for the Oviksfjällen mountains appearing to the west of the airport.

Gulf of Bothnia
Glimpses of the coastal archipelago and the brackish waters of the Baltic Sea immediately after departure from Umeå.
Västernorrland Forests
Infinite stretches of dense boreal forest interspersed with small timber-milling settlements.
Indalsälven Basin
Views of the lower reaches of the Indalsälven river system as the flight crosses into Jämtland County.
Sit on this side for early morning flights to witness the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. During winter, look for the geometric patterns of logging roads in the snow-covered forests.
