Search flights from ZAG to MUC
Julian Alps
Spectacular views of Mount Triglav and the jagged limestone peaks of Slovenia shortly after takeoff.
Hohe Tauern Range
A grand view of the central Austrian Alps, including distant glaciers and high-altitude ridges.
Chiemgau Alps
The transition from the high peaks to the rolling green foothills of the Bavarian border.
Isar River Valley
The turquoise waters of the Isar winding through the Bavarian countryside during the final descent.
For the best experience, sit in front of the wing (Rows 1-10) to avoid engine heat distortion. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun is positioned to the south/southwest, illuminating the north faces of the Alps beautifully. In winter, the snow coverage provides incredible contrast against the dark valleys.

Klagenfurt & Wörthersee
Look down to see the crystal-clear Lake Wörthersee and the city of Klagenfurt nestled in the basin.
Grossglockner View
On clear days, the pyramid-shaped peak of Austria's highest mountain is visible to the west.
Salzburg Area
During the descent, you may catch a glimpse of the Salzach River and the outskirts of Salzburg.
The Watzmann
The iconic jagged peak of Berchtesgaden is often visible as the plane turns toward Munich.
The right side is excellent for morning flights as the sun rises behind you, casting long shadows over the mountain valleys. Pay close attention during the last 15 minutes of the flight, as the approach into Munich (especially if landing to the west) often provides a great aerial view of the Bavarian lake district.
