Kvarken Moraines
Unique 'De Geer' moraine ridges visible from the air, a geological wonder from the last ice age.
Replot Bridge
A striking view of Finland's longest bridge connecting the mainland to the island of Replot.
The High Coast
The world's highest isostatic rebound area, featuring steep granite cliffs and deep inlets on the Swedish side.
Uppsala Cathedral
The iconic twin spires of the largest church in Scandinavia as the plane descends towards Stockholm.
Lake Mälaren
Vibrant views of the vast lake system and surrounding Swedish countryside just before landing.
The right side is essential for viewing the geological formations that earned this region UNESCO status. For the best experience, choose a window seat on a late afternoon flight to see the Swedish High Coast bathed in the golden hour glow. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff for the ridged patterns in the shallow waters near Vaasa.
