WROGRO

Which side of the plane to sit from Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the high Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc, and provides a breathtaking approach over the Mediterranean coastline as you enter Catalonia.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of the Bernese Oberland and the iconic glaciated peaks of central Switzerland.

❄️

Mont Blanc Massif

As the flight crosses into France, look out for the highest peak in Europe shimmering in the distance.

💧

Lake Geneva

The southern crescent of the lake and the French Alps rising sharply from its shores.

🌊

Golfe du Lion

The expansive blue of the Mediterranean Sea as the plane turns south toward the Spanish border.

🏖️

Costa Brava Coastline

The rugged, rocky coves and turquoise waters of the northern Spanish coast during the final descent.

On morning flights, the sun will be on the left side, which can cause significant glare; use a polarizer if taking photos. Sit behind the wing for the best unobstructed view of the alpine glaciers. As you approach Girona, look for the Cap de Creus, the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany's famous mountain range.

🏙️

Lyon and the Rhône

The confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and the urban sprawl of France's third-largest city.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique volcanic landscapes and plateaus of central France, featuring the Puys chain.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

The dramatic wall of mountains that marks the natural border between France and Spain.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the 'Canigou' peak in the Pyrenees, which is often snow-capped well into the spring. This side also offers great views of the agricultural patterns in the Ampurdán plain just before landing.
