OSL Final Approach
A perfect vantage point for viewing the layout of the Gardermoen runways and airport infrastructure.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the Norwegian lake district. This side is particularly stunning during sunset when the low light reflects off the water of Sperillen and Tyrifjorden. Look for the Oslo city center to the south as the plane turns for its final approach into Gardermoen.
