Search flights from ZRH to NAP
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs and their surrounding glaciers.
Lake Lucerne
The complex, winding shape of the lake surrounded by Mount Pilatus and Mount Rigi.
Lake Como
The iconic Y-shaped lake and the steep mountains of the Lombardy region.
Rome & Vatican City
On clear days, the sprawl of the Eternal City and the dome of St. Peter's are visible to the west.
Tyrrhenian Coast
The rugged shoreline of Tuscany and Lazio meeting the deep blue Mediterranean.
Islands of Ischia & Capri
Beautiful islands in the Gulf of Naples visible during the final banking maneuvers.
Choose the right side for the ultimate Alpine experience shortly after takeoff. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing as the glare can be intense. During the descent, watch for the Roman coastline. In the winter, the contrast between the snowy Alps and the green Italian south is particularly striking.

Glarus Alps
Sharp, snow-capped peaks of Eastern Switzerland visible immediately after climbing out of Zurich.
Lake Zurich
A full view of the silver-blue lake stretching from the city center toward the mountains.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, often capped with snow even into late spring.
Mount Vesuvius
The legendary volcano comes into clear view during the final descent into the Naples basin.
Naples Center
A dense urban tapestry of historic buildings and narrow streets as the plane lines up with the runway.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. On the approach into Naples, this side offers the best angle of Mount Vesuvius if the aircraft approaches from the north or makes a wide turn over the city. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.
