Triglav National Park
Sweeping views of the jagged Julian Alps and Slovenia's highest peak shortly after leaving Croatian airspace.
Hohe Tauern
Home to the Grossglockner, Austria's tallest mountain, providing spectacular snow-capped vistas year-round.
Lake Constance
A massive glimmering lake bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, visible on clear days to the north.
Meuse River Valley
The winding river path through Wallonia, featuring steep cliffs and the picturesque town of Dinant.
Walloon Terrils

The right side is the 'mountain side' on this route. For the best photography of the Alps, book an afternoon flight when the sun is to the west, illuminating the northern faces of the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 25-40 minutes after departure.
