VRN β MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the jagged Dolomite massifs and the expansive Zillertal Alps, plus a higher probability of seeing Munich's iconic stadium on approach.
Adige Valley
Aerial views of the deep glacial valley floor characterized by dense vineyards and medieval fortifications.
The Sella Group
A spectacular plateau-shaped mountain massif that is one of the most recognizable features of the Dolomites.
Zillertal Alps
Deeply glaciated peaks and high-alpine ridges as the flight crosses into the Austrian Tyrol.
Allianz Arena
The world-famous glowing white stadium of FC Bayern Munich is a frequent highlight during the southern approach.
The right side is the premier choice for morning flights to witness the sun illuminating the eastern faces of the Dolomites. Be sure to look out for the sharp transition from the rugged limestone peaks to the rolling green foothills of Bavaria.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible to the west shortly after takeoff, framed by steep mountain ridges.
Brenta Dolomites
The western limestone spires of the Dolomites provide a jagged and impressive horizon during the climb.
Γtztal Alps
Glacier-capped peaks along the border of Austria and Italy, home to some of the highest summits in the region.
Starnberger See
A massive Bavarian lake that serves as a landmark for the final descent into the Munich terminal area.
Seat yourself on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm sunset light hitting the western Alpine faces. This side is also better for spotting the expansive blue waters of Lake Garda immediately after departing Verona.
