Lakes Malgomaj and Volgsjön
Stunning glacial lakes surrounding Vilhelmina, visible immediately after takeoff.
Boreal Taiga
An endless carpet of spruce and pine forests, punctuated by logging trails and peat bogs.
Jämtland Highlands
On clear days, the white peaks of the Swedish mountains near the Norwegian border are visible on the horizon.
Lake Siljan Impact Crater
The distinct circular lake system in Dalarna, formed by a massive meteorite impact 377 million years ago.
Skokloster Castle
A stunning white Baroque palace located on a peninsula in Lake Mälaren, seen during the descent phase.
The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the mountains. It provides a better sense of Sweden's scale and its 'Last Wilderness.' Look for the transition from the wild northern forests to the organized farmland of the south. During descent, if the wind is from the south, you will get an excellent aerial view of Uppsala’s city center.

Ångermanälven River
One of Sweden's longest rivers, carving through the timber-rich valleys of the north.
High Coast (Höga Kusten)
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique red granite cliffs rising steeply from the Baltic Sea.
Sundsvall Archipelago
Views of the industrial 'Stone City' and the scattered islands along the Gulf of Bothnia.
Uppsala Cathedral
On the final approach, the iconic twin spires of Scandinavia's largest cathedral are often visible to the east.
Arlanda Airport Layout
A great perspective of the airport's three-runway system and the distinct Arlanda air traffic control tower.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and catch the soft glow reflecting off the Baltic coastline. During winter nights, this side faces away from the sun's path, increasing your chances of spotting the Aurora Borealis if solar activity is high. Keep your camera ready as you pass Hudiksvall for the most scenic coastal views.
