Dramatic views of the snow-capped mountain range marking the boundary between Europe and Asia.
Mount Narodnaya
The highest peak in the Urals is often visible in the distance during the middle portion of the flight.
Inta Coal Mining Hub
A bird's-eye view of this remote industrial town surrounded by the vast Pechora lowland.
Virgin Komi Forests
Expansive views of the UNESCO World Heritage site featuring the largest untouched boreal forest in Europe.
Pechora-Ilych Reserve
Vast stretches of protected wilderness where the tundra transitions into dense taiga.
Sit on the left (port) side for early morning flights to catch the sunrise illuminating the Ural peaks. In winter, look for the 'Alpenglow' effect on the snow. Ensure a window seat clear of the wing for the best mountain photography.

Pechora River Meanders
Complex, silvery oxbow lakes and winding river patterns cutting through the arctic landscape.
Bolshezemelskaya Tundra
A massive expanse of treeless arctic plains dotted with thousands of small glacial lakes.
Ukhta Industrial Zone
Distant views of the oil and gas infrastructure and the lights of the city during evening flights.
Vychegda River Confluence
The final approach into Syktyvkar offers a great view of where the Sysola and Vychegda rivers meet.
The right side is best during sunset flights as the low sun creates long shadows across the tundra, highlighting the unique topography. During winter, watch for the crystalline patterns of frozen lakes and river ice.
