Vienna Inner City
Aerial views of the Danube river, the Stephansdom, and the historic center during climb-out.
Schneeberg
The highest peak in Lower Austria, a majestic limestone giant often covered in snow.
Semmering Pass
The historic UNESCO World Heritage mountain pass area connecting Lower Austria and Styria.
Hochschwab Massif
Rugged limestone peaks and high plateaus visible as the flight enters Styrian airspace.
Graz Schlossberg
The iconic clock tower and hill in the center of Graz, visible during the final approach.
For the most spectacular Alpine scenery, sit on the right. In the morning, the sun illuminates the limestone faces of the Schneeberg and Rax beautifully. As the flight is very short and flies at a lower cruise altitude, ground details are exceptionally clear, so keep your camera ready from the moment gear retracts until landing.

This side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the soft, warm light over the Pannonian Basin. Look for the Leitha Mountains shortly after takeoff from Vienna. This side is generally quieter with less glare during the morning hours.
