Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the highest peaks in the Central and Eastern Alps, including the iconic Julian Alps and Slovenia's highest peak, Mount Triglav, during the descent.
Glarus and Graubünden Alps
Dramatic glaciated peaks of the high Swiss Alps shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Arlberg and Tyrolean Peaks
Famous Austrian ski regions including St. Anton and the jagged ridges of the Lechtal Alps.
Hohe Tauern and Großglockner
Distant views of Austria's highest peak, the Großglockner, standing at 3,798 meters.
Julian Alps and Triglav
Stunning close-up views of Mount Triglav and the emerald valleys of Triglav National Park on descent.
This side is superior for mountain photography. Choose a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the high alpine glaciers. Morning flights offer spectacular 'alpenglow' on the snow-capped peaks. Keep a keen eye out approximately 15 minutes before landing to spot Mount Triglav's distinctive three-headed summit.
Zurich City and Lake
Aerial view of Zurich's old town and the northern end of Lake Zurich immediately after takeoff from ZRH.
Lake Constance
The expansive 'Bodensee' marks the border between Switzerland, Germany, and Austria to the north.
Vorarlberg Valleys
The lush green valleys and traditional alpine villages of Western Austria.
Karawanks Range
The rugged limestone mountain chain that forms the natural border between Austria and Slovenia during arrival.
Sit on the left for softer lighting in the afternoon to avoid the sun's glare. This side is ideal for spotting Lake Constance and the northern foothills. During the final approach into Ljubljana, look for the Kamnik-Savinja Alps appearing to the northeast.
