The lush green biosphere reserve of the Wienerwald bordering the city to the west.
The Dolomites
Iconic, jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps providing a dramatic vertical landscape.
Lake Garda
A perfect overhead view of Italy's largest lake, often showing the narrow northern fjord-like section.
Corsican Ridges
The high granite peaks of central Corsica, often snow-capped well into the spring months.
Algiers Bay

Vienna and the Danube
Clear views of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube river immediately after departure.
Hohe Tauern Range
The glaciated peaks of the Eastern Alps, including the Grossglockner massif.
Adriatic Horizon
On clear days, the distant shimmering waters of the Adriatic Sea are visible across the Italian plains.
Sardinian East Coast
