Here you will find a cafe where you can buy ice cream, dinner or just something to drink. For those who want to go for an extra walk, it is nice to walk for a little extra hour up towards B\u00f8nntuva. You can easily see where the path goes up, but you must take advantage of the opportunity to take a photo of Troms\u00f8 and your gang first if the weather is nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walk the Sherpa Stairs in the midnight sun in summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Troms\u00f8 has the midnight sun for most of the summer, and this opens up many exciting hiking opportunities. The hike is of course the same as during the day, but the low sun creates a magical light when the conditions are right. The midnight sun photographed from Mount Storsteinen is a classical view, and you should definitely stay up at night to experience it. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull vnn-hero wp-block-vnn-hero\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__media\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/001984_Knut-Hansvold_www.nordnorge.com_Tromsoe.jpg);background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__gradient\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-hero__inner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spellbound-by-the-midnight-sun\">Spellbound by the Midnight Sun<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-arrow\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Summer nights in Troms\u00f8 can turn you a bit crazy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-booking\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tromso.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><\/h2>\n\n<p>For everything in Troms\u00f8, look no further than: <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button link-to-booking-provider-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visittromso.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check here<\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-the-autumn-northern-lights-from-the-steps\">Watch the autumn Northern Lights from the steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I mild autumn nights from the end of August onward, you can climb the Sherpatrappa steps with a headlamp to see the Northern Lights. The city lights seen between the black silhouettes of the trees can be really beautiful. There are plenty of stopping points to look down on the city, and with some luck see the Northern Lights. As long as the temperatures in town are a few degrees above freezing, you can do the hike in regular hiking boots. If the temperature is around freezing, there is a chance of slippery ice on the steps. Then you either cancel or wear proper, heavy duty spikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sherpatrappa is a social activity for the whole family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are on a trip with the family or a group of friends, Sherpatrappa is a natural stop on your holiday in Troms\u00f8. If someone in the group does not have the opportunity or desire to go Sherpatrappa, they can simply take the mountain lift up and meet you at the top. Maybe you take the mountain lift down together again, or if you go down the stairs together?<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_7651.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x744\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_7651-2048x635.jpg\" alt=\"View from Mount Storsteinen on a day in January, after having hiked up the Sherpa steps \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_7651.jpg\" data-caption=\"View from Mount Storsteinen on a day in January, after having hiked up the Sherpa steps \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_7569.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_7569-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A Sunday in January, and the steps are a metre under the snow.

If the weather is mild in November, you can still climb the steps provided you have proper hiking boots. The problem, however, is ice and snow. After a frost night, the steps may have a treacherous ice layer. Or the steps are filled with dynamite-hard ice and snow after variable winter weather. Maybe you manage to get up, but are completely stuck when going down. Broken legs and rescue operations by helicopter happen every winter. Almost everyone in trouble has slippery shoes or are lacking in equipment. You move around the Norwegian nature at your own risk, this also goes for Sherpatrappa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-gear-do-you-need-for-climbing-sherpatrappa-in-winter\">What gear do you need for climbing Sherpatrappa in winter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need solid winter shoes with a good grip. Crampons, or spikes, are also needed. The simple rubber spikes you buy cheaply walking the Troms\u00f8 streets are not good enough, you need the ones with chains. They can be purchased downtown. Poles with spikes are also a good idea to Headlamps are of course a must for night climbs, but if you go up at daytime in December-January, you might consider carrying one in your pocket. Days are short, and you don&#8217;t know how long the trip lasts. Finally, wear good clothes, and maybe an extra undershirt to change into after having sweated your way up the hillside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sometimes-the-sherpa-steps-are-closed\">Sometimes the Sherpa steps are closed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes every winter, there is a sign at the lower end of Sherpatrappa saying it&#8217;s closed. This is usually because of an avalanche risk in the upper most section. There is, however, no physical barrier, and no policeman stopping you. We still insist you respect the closure, it is there for your own safety. And of course, you can always use the Cable Car to reach the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li
