Swiss Alps
Immediate views of the high Alpine peaks and the Bernese Oberland shortly after takeoff.
Lake Geneva
The crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva are often visible on the descent from the Alps.
Costa Brava
Aerial views of the rugged Spanish coastline and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
Pyrenees Peaks
A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain.
Rif Mountains
The lush, green-to-arid transition of the mountain range in northern Morocco.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Alps. This side provides the most consistent views of high-altitude landmarks. In winter, the snow-covered Pyrenees are a significant highlight, so keep your camera ready about midway through the flight.

Strait of Gibraltar

Atlantic Coastline
The final approach follows the white sand beaches and Atlantic surf of the Moroccan coast.
