Here are some tips for the curious wayfarer to fjords, forests and green farmland, to hikes, history and good stories on an island with many faces.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>No wonder why everyone talks about the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-national-tourist-route-winds-around-senjas-outer-coast\/\">Norwegian Scenic Route<\/a> along Senja Island\u2019s outer coast. It is a stretch of unparalleled beauty. However, instead of heading straight to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/a-whale-safari-is-a-meeting-with-giants\/\">whales <\/a>in Andenes or to busy, merry <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/tromso-is-the-cool-summer-city-literally\/\">Troms\u00f8<\/a>, one could give Senja a bit more time. This big island is a micro-continent with many kinds of landscapes literally half an hour apart. To help the free-spirited, curious, and independent traveller, we have created this guide to beautiful scenery, low-key attractions, easy hikes to picturesque places, and local communities that blend in with and stand out from the stunning scenery around them. We start on Senja\u2019s friendly south coast, make a detour to a western fjord before we end up along Senja\u2019s inside.<\/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\/2024\/06\/Skrolsvik_Senjehesten_20150618-DAL_3768.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1110\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Skrolsvik_Senjehesten_20150618-DAL_3768-2048x947.jpg\" alt=\"View of Skrolsvik on Senja&#039;s south-western tip.

From the deep forests of the Kaperdalen Valley, there is a steep ascent above the treeline. At an altitude of 368 metres, you reach the highest point, and the descent on the western side is steep. Stop at the lake when coming down and view the road twist and turn in hairpin bends through the narrow valley, with the fjord blinking down there. It all feels wild. But the minute you reach the fjord, it all changes; Farms, houses and boathouses line the calm, protected fjord, and it at feels inhabited. However, there is always a view to steep, dark mountains. The Sifjord is thus a classic fjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discover-the-villages-along-the-sifjord-in-senja-s-southwest\">Discover the villages along the Sifjord in Senja\u2019s southwest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sifjord makes a deep cut in the coastal range, and the northern shore is a strip of dense habitation. Boathouses line the shore, wooden piers with boats anchored up puncture the calm waters. Colourful houses of various ages surround the winding, narrow road, forcing you to drive slowly. Sifjord, Medby and Kaldfarnes lie as a string of pearls along the shore, and it feels green and welcoming. To reach the outer most village, Grunnfarnes, the road meanders up a hill with great views, before descending into a long line of houses. Out here, if feels a bit more maritime and exposed than further in, with flowery meadows swaying in the breeze in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/2024\/07\/Kaperdalsura-view-towards-Sifjord-Senja-Island-Kristoffer-Vangen.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kaperdalsura-view-towards-Sifjord-Senja-Island-Kristoffer-Vangen-1638x2048.jpg\" alt=\"The downhill road through the Kaperdalsura valley to Sifjord on Senja Island&#039;s southwestern side \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kaperdalsura-view-towards-Sifjord-Senja-Island-Kristoffer-Vangen.jpg\" data-caption=\"The downhill road through the Kaperdalsura valley to Sifjord on Senja Island&#039;s southwestern side \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" \/>\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\/2024\/07\/IMG_3868-EFFECTS.jpg\" data-size=\"1350x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_3868-EFFECTS-768x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Grunnfarnes village on the island of Senja in the earliest days of Summer \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_3868-EFFECTS.jpg\" data-caption=\"Grunnfarnes village on the island of Senja in the earliest days of Summer \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: The downhill road through the Kaperdalsura valley to Sifjord on Senja Island&#039;s southwestern side \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Grunnfarnes village on the island of Senja in the earliest days of Summer \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flakstadv-g-is-senja-at-its-remotest\">Flakstadv\u00e5g is Senja at its remotest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the head of the Sifjord, a narrow road leads along rocky outcrops and big boulders under pointed mountains &#8211; all clad in lush foliage &#8211; to the remote village of Flakstadv\u00e5g.

It&#8217;s often a good idea to ask your accommodation for help, they are good at deciphering the timetables.   \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"can-i-book-a-car-for-a-day?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-5\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCan I book a car for a day?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel-5\" aria-labelledby=\"can-i-book-a-car-for-a-day?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tTravellers who otherwise use public transport, can hire a car at Finnsnes for the day.

The city of Troms\u00f8 is north of Senja, and the city of Harstad is found south of Senja. The biggest town in the area is Finnsnes, found where the bridge from the mainland crosses over to Senja. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I am going to Lofoten and Troms\u00f8. Can I include Senja?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tYou can indeed. There is a ferry crossing from Brensholmen (near Troms\u00f8) to Botnhamn (Senja). Then you can explore Senja, and continue to Andenes (Vester\u00e5len) via the Gryllefjord-Andenes ferry, and saunter down to Lofoten. Or vice versa. Ferry timetables are listed on Troms Fylkestrafikk.  If you&#039;re not driving, the hop-on hop off- bus route Arctic Route is an alternative. \\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\/p&gt;\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where do I stay when in Senja?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tThe typical place to stay in Senja is some kind of detached little house, called hytte, sj\u00f8hus, rorbu or campinghytte, although there are also classic hotels and some resorts.
