Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the world-famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau north faces rising abruptly from the valleys.
The Matterhorn
The most famous peak in the world is visible as you fly over the Valais region, standing out with its distinct pyramid shape.
Aletsch Glacier
The largest glacier in the Alps, stretching 23km through the heart of the Swiss UNESCO heritage site.
Gran Paradiso
As you enter Italian airspace, watch for the highest mountain entirely within Italy, located in the national park of the same name.
Aosta Valley
A breathtaking view down the deep glacial valley that serves as the gateway to the Mont Blanc tunnel.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Sit slightly behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Matterhorn. In the afternoon, the sun will illuminate the western faces of the peaks, providing incredible photographic contrast. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after departure from Zurich.

Glarus Alps
Dramatic views of the high peaks of Eastern Switzerland, including the Tödi massif.
Gotthard Massif
The historic heart of the Swiss Alps, featuring deep valleys and the primary north-south transit corridor.
Lake Maggiore
On the descent, the northern tip of the lake and the Ticino river delta near Locarno often come into view.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look for the distinctive turquoise color of the alpine lakes early in the flight. This side is excellent for seeing the transition from the high mountains to the Italian Prealps.
