Lake Garda
Immediate views of Italy's largest lake, specifically the narrow northern fjord-like section near Riva del Garda.
Central Alps
Stunning vistas of the Adamello-Presanella glaciers and the high peaks of the Rhaetian Alps.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive body of water where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often passed directly on the western shore.
Black Forest
The dense evergreen canopy and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald region as the flight enters German airspace.
Upper Rhine Valley
The fertile plains and historic river structures during the initial descent phase into Frankfurt.
Sit on the left for the best views of Lake Garda's turquoise waters. On clear days, you can see as far as the Swiss Alps. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountain faces and preventing glare on the window.

Dolomite Mountains
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Dolomites are visible to the east during the early climb.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak is often visible in the distance as the flight crosses the Alpine ridge near the Austrian border.
Stuttgart Region
Views of the industrial heart of Baden-Württemberg and the surrounding Neckar valley vineyards.
Odenwald Forest
Low mountain range features with dense woodlands and small valley villages during the approach.
Frankfurt Skyline
If landing towards the west (Runway 25), the right side offers the best view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers.
The right side is superior for spotting the high German peaks and the Frankfurt financial district during the final approach. In winter, the snow-covered Dolomites to the east are particularly photogenic. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Commerzbank Tower on the right just before touchdown.
