Vienna Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Danube river and the city's historic center immediately after takeoff.
Salzkammergut Lakes
The stunning turquoise waters of Traunsee, Attersee, and Mondsee nestled between mountains.
Berchtesgaden Alps
Dramatic views of the Watzmann massif along the border between Austria and Germany.
Karwendel Range
Jagged limestone walls that feel close enough to touch during the descent into Innsbruck.
Inn Valley Approach
One of Europe's most scenic landings, flying low between high mountain walls directly over the Inn River.
The right side is essential for the iconic Innsbruck approach. If the plane lands on Runway 08, you will see the Nordkette mountains very closely. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distorting the view of the lakes.

Dachstein Massif
Views of the glaciated peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps in the distance.
High Tauern National Park
Home to the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, visible on the southern horizon.
Ziller Valley
A deep, branching valley known for its ski resorts and high-altitude alpine scenery.
Sit on the left if you want to catch glimpses of the highest glaciated peaks in the Hohe Tauern range. Early morning flights offer the best lighting on these southern slopes, highlighting the contrast between the snow and the valley floor.
