\n\t\t\t\tOn the island of Kval\u00f8ya, you find one of the easiest, but also one of the most beautiful mountain hikes in the area. And it’s only half an hour from the centre of Troms\u00f8\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

The mountain hike to Mount Brattfjellet on Kval\u00f8ya Island is an easy hike with a great view found between Troms\u00f8 and the open sea. When the other mountains are still covered by snow in May, you can do this hike. For a longer trip, combine with nearby Rundkollen Hill. That tour is not described here, but the cairn in clearly visitbly from the top of Brattfjellet on a clear day. <\/p>\n\n\n

The tour starts at Lake Storvannet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is room for 4-5 cars, depending on the size, on the park on the western side of Lake Storvannet along the road. If the car park is full, it is possible to use nearby areas, which require a short walk along the road before reaching the starting point. Due to the limited parking, we strongly recommend packing the car as full of people as possible before departure. Alternatively, you can hire an electric bike<\/a> in the city and make it a day trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first few hundred meters of the walk are in the light birch forest, and it doesn’t take long before you gain altitude and reach the treeline. On the way up, you get increasingly better views of Gr\u00f8tfjorden on your left, and when you come up to a slightly gentler area, you will get a good view of the popular swimming beach in Gr\u00f8tfjorden (see picture below).<\/p>\n\n\n\t
