Ume River Valley
The aircraft follows the winding path of the Ume River as it cuts through the northern landscape.
Storuman Lake
View the intricate shoreline and the town of Storuman from a distance.
Norra Storfjället
The massive mountain range that dominates the horizon near Hemavan, featuring dramatic glacial U-valleys.
Sytertoppen
Look for the highest peak in the area, often holding snow well into the summer months.
Hemavan Ski Resort
An excellent aerial view of the ski slopes and the village during the final approach into HMV.
For the best mountain photography, choose the right side. The approach into Hemavan is one of Sweden's most scenic; sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. In winter, this side catches the faint arctic sunlight reflecting off the snow-covered peaks.

Lake Malgomaj
A long, narrow lake that dominates the landscape shortly after takeoff from Vilhelmina.
Marsfjällen Peaks
Distant views of the rugged peaks within the Marsfjällen Nature Reserve to the west.
Kultsjön Vistas
Deep blue alpine waters nestled between rolling forested hills and mountain foothills.
Vindel River Headwaters
The complex network of streams and small lakes that eventually feed into the great Vindel River.
The left side provides a wider perspective of the transition from dense taiga to the Swedish fjäll. It is particularly good in the late afternoon as the sun sets behind the mountains to the west, creating long shadows and golden light over the lakes.
