Dachstein Massif
The dramatic limestone south face and glaciers of Styria's highest mountain.
Hohe Tauern
Panoramic views of the central Alpine ridge, including the distant Großglockner.
Arlberg Region
Overlooking the legendary ski terrains of St. Anton and Lech near the border.
Glarus Alps
Deep valleys and rugged peaks as the flight enters central Swiss airspace.
Bernese Oberland Trio
Unrivaled views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks shortly before landing.
Morning flights provide the best lighting on the south-facing mountain slopes. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine and wing do not obstruct the view of the high-altitude glaciers. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing for the Bernese Alps.
