The Dolomites
Jagged, pale peaks visible to the northeast during the initial climb from Verona.
The Matterhorn
The unmistakable pyramid-shaped peak of the Swiss Alps standing out among the high mountains.
Bernese Oberland
Breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks and their massive glaciers.
Jura Mountains
Dense forests and limestone ridges marking the natural border between Switzerland and France.
Champagne Region
The rolling hills and vineyard-covered plains near Reims as you approach the Paris basin.
The right side is essential for high-altitude mountain photography. The Matterhorn and Bernese Alps are the star attractions. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the southern faces of the Alps, providing deep contrast and avoiding the direct glare found on the left side during the afternoon.

Lake Garda
Stunning views of Italy's largest lake and the Sirmione peninsula immediately after takeoff.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps visible as you cross the French-Italian border region.
Lake Geneva
A clear view of the crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau in Geneva if the flight path is southerly.
Burgundy Vineyards

Paris Cityscape
Potential views of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Cœur during the approach to CDG from the south.
Sit on the left for the best view of Lake Garda right after departure. On the descent into Paris, the left side often has a better chance of spotting the city's major landmarks if the aircraft is circling for a westerly landing. Afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare.
