Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Glarus Alps

Immediate views of the jagged peaks and Lake Zurich following a southern departure from ZRH.

❄️

Gotthard Massif

Aerial perspective of the deep alpine valleys and the historic mountain pass region.

🏙️

Milan Cityscape

The sprawling metropolis of Milan and the surrounding fertile plains of the Po Valley.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy featuring deep green forests and winding mountain roads.

🏰

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Spot the distinct Piazza dei Miracoli and the Arno River as you reach the coast.

🚢

Piombino Port

Clear view of the ferry hub connecting mainland Italy to the Tuscan Archipelago.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft and avoid glare. Look for the white marble quarries of Carrara as you cross from the mountains to the sea. This side typically offers the best view of the Elba-mainland channel and the port of Piombino during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Stunning vistas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks shortly after takeoff.

💧

Lake Maggiore

A beautiful view of the western shores and the Borromean Islands nestled in the water.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

The deep blue transition from the Italian mainland to the open Tyrrhenian waters.

🏝️

Gorgona & Capraia

Remote islands of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park visible during the descent.

⛰️

Monte Capanne

The granite summit of Elba's highest mountain as the plane circles for landing.

🏖️

Elba's North Coast

Bird's-eye view of the turquoise bays and white pebble beaches of the island.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a golden hour view over the sea. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the high Alpine peaks. During the final landing pattern at EBA, this side provides a more dramatic view of Elba's mountainous interior and the rugged western cape.
