I recomend a walk here, start at the parking space and walk around the path (about 45 minutes) The view to the south and the light here is magnificent.Especially during the dark months here. There are also fireplaces, but not wood. But maybe someone has left the fire så you can sit there :) Bus 34 from the city center, 15 minutes)

Neighborhood and good places to see the northern lights

Fjellheisen is very close to our house. 10 minuts to walk. Then if you are fit you can go right down from Fjellheisen to our house (the Sherpapath) Many people also walk up instead of taking the elevator. Ask me for advice if you want to try.

Nabolagsguide

To see the northern lights I recomend to go into the valley of Tromsdalen. Follow Turistveien until the end, and then follow the path. It will be a good chance to se the northern lights in the winter because it is no electrical light there. In summer it is a beautiful quiet walk. This is very close from our house. You can also go to the lavvu (Gutta på skauen) , a popular place for the locals to go to. In the weekend they serve coffee and something to eat. When it is dark you can make a fire there and just wait to see the aurora. Ask me for more advise There are also maps and directions on internet. Search "Gutta pa skauen" There are maps in the house too

Porady dla podróżnych

Co spakować

To travel from Airport

From the Airport you can take route 42 to town, then switch to route 26 (besides Peppes pizza) Go of the bus at the stop " Gausdalsveien" Load down the app "Tromsreiser" og "Tromsbillett" But i do recomend taxi becouse of the steep hill to our house. Escpesially if you have suitcases. Remember to ask for a 4wd in winthertime.
Poruszanie się po okolicy

It is a nice walk to go to the town from us. 30 -45 min.

You will pass the famous "Ishavskatedralen" and get to se the beautiful view from the brigde

I recomend crampons during winter in Tromsø
