Fjords, islands, mountains, snowy landscapes, and colourful small communities await just outside town, easily and safely explored. And the Northern Lights? They dance across the sky all over the area.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Flying north of the Arctic Circle to Troms\u00f8, Northern Norway, to see the Northern Lights this winter? Good idea! The city is well-positioned for viewing the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Troms\u00f8 winter offers excellent tours and excursions, and is a scenic place with plenty to see. It&#8217;s also a city with good food, and a vibrant atmosphere. So unexpected so close to the North Pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, much more awaits in the north for the seasoned, curious explorer. Venturing out of Troms\u00f8 allows you to see more, relax better, and create richer, varied memories. And observe the Northern Lights in a setting of your own making. Here are some ideas for out-of-Troms\u00f8 experiences in Aurora territory.<\/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\/2022\/04\/Elgsnes_NorthernLights_JanSchmitt.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1764\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Elgsnes_NorthernLights_JanSchmitt-2048x1505.jpg\" alt=\"A late autumn night, there are northern lights over the 18th c. farmhouse of Elgsnes \u00a9 Jan Schmitt\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Elgsnes_NorthernLights_JanSchmitt.jpg\" data-caption=\"A late autumn night, there are northern lights over the 18th c. farmhouse of Elgsnes \u00a9 Jan Schmitt\" \/>\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\/10\/DSC_8686-Edit-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_8686-Edit-1-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights ribbons over the Bergsfjord, seen from &quot;Magasuget&quot; - the view platform overlooking the fjord \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_8686-Edit-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Northern Lights ribbons over the Bergsfjord, seen from &quot;Magasuget&quot; - the view platform overlooking the fjord \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\/2023\/10\/Northern-Lights-out-of-the-chimney-Lyngenfjord-Petr-Pavlicek.jpg\" data-size=\"738x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Northern-Lights-out-of-the-chimney-Lyngenfjord-Petr-Pavlicek.jpg\" alt=\"The Northern Lights seem to come out of the chimney \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Northern-Lights-out-of-the-chimney-Lyngenfjord-Petr-Pavlicek.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Northern Lights seem to come out of the chimney \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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\/08\/024198_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-size=\"720x1080\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/024198_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" alt=\"Pink and green over the Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavlicek \/ VIsit Lyngenfjord\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/024198_Petr-Pavl-ek_Visit-Lyngenfjord.jpg\" data-caption=\"Pink and green over the Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavlicek \/ VIsit Lyngenfjord\" \/>\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: A late autumn night, there are northern lights over the 18th c. farmhouse of Elgsnes \u00a9 Jan Schmitt<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Northern Lights ribbons over the Bergsfjord, seen from &quot;Magasuget&quot; &#8211; the view platform overlooking the fjord \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The Northern Lights seem to come out of the chimney \u00a9 Petr Pavl\u00ed\u010dek \/ Visit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Pink and green over the Lyngenfjord \u00a9 Petr Pavlicek \/ VIsit Lyngenfjord<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-winter-adventure-should-encompass-more-than-just-troms\">A winter adventure should encompass more than just Troms\u00f8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Northern Norway offers an endless variety of landscapes. Impressive mountain ranges, deep fjords, rugged coastlines, myriad islands, and deep forests, there is something new around every bend. When the snow covers the landscape, it&#8217;s such a difference from the summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people are equally diverse, with Sami, Kven (Finnish) and Norwegian roots. Reindeer sledding and dinners in Sami tents are a good way to learn about the indigenous people. Norwegians tend to live in coastal areas with a deep-rooted fishing culture. Kvens originate in Finland and are known for their saunas and traditional farming culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communities range from lively coastal towns via tight-knit fishing villages to peaceful hamlets. Here you get close to the local population, and learn how they live their daily lives in the Arctic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-your-own-winter-holiday-in-aurora-territory\">Design your own winter holiday in Aurora territory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you holiday off the beaten path in the north? Find a <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/see-the-northern-lights-from-your-holiday-house\/\">nice place <\/a>to stay in an island community, a village by the fjord, or a town with few tourists. Pack your days with exhilarating fun in the snow, either organised outdoor activities or organised by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious wanderers roam the area, exploring small museums, quirky shops, and coffee places where locals gather. A stressed-out office worker from the city feels like curling up in the sofa and study the landscape through the window. These places also tend to be far away from light pollution, and thus perfect to see the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A restorative and mood-lifting holiday in the winter months should have a bit of all three. How much of each you choose is entirely up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div

Troms\u00f8, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visit-lyngenfjord.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lyngen Alps <\/a>rise 1,800 metres up from the Arctic Ocean. A landscape of fjords, mountains, and forested valleys surround the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-lyngenfjord-is-the-northern-lights-fjord\/\">Lyngenfjord<\/a>. Winter days here are crisp and cold, while a stable continental climate offers many clear, starry nights. Here, you can see the Northern Lights against a backdrop of lofty peaks or in deep forests, far from city lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dog sledding and snowmobiling may seem challenging in these landscapes, but even city slickers master these skills surprisingly quickly. In early winter, orcas, humpback whales, and fin whales feast on herring off Skjerv\u00f8y, and you can go whale watching. Ice fishing gives you peace of mind. <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/manndalen-treasure-trove-of-traditional-crafts\/\">Sami culture<\/a> is also deeply rooted in this

<a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsenja.no\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senja <\/a>resembles a microcontinent. It features a wild, rugged coast on the Atlantic side. The fishing villages here come to life during the winter fishing from January on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the land-facing side, there is a friendly, forested winter wonderland., The sheltered southern coast has calm waters and lovely villages. Driving along the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-national-tourist-route-winds-around-senjas-outer-coast\/\">Norwegian Scenic Route<\/a> on the west coast is a must, but don\u2019t neglect the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/venture-around-hidden-senja-island-at-a-leisurely-pace\/\">interior<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In winter, Arctic cod lead a rather frivolous love life in the waters around Senja. Enjoy the fresh cod on your plate in simple eateries, or go fishing yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The varied topography allows you to cross the mountain range in twenty minutes to encounter different weather. This increases your chances of spotting the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/kristoffer-went-hunting-for-the-northern-lights-in-senja\/\">Northern Lights.<\/a><\/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\/10\/DSC_7828.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\/2023\/10\/DSC_7828-1638x2048.jpg\" alt=\"The Northern Lights forming an arch over the mountains on Senja Island \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_7828.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Northern Lights forming an arch over the mountains on Senja Island \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\/2023\/06\/Hamn-i-Senja-1.jpg\" data-size=\"896x1120\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Hamn-i-Senja-1-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Suddenly the green rays appears on the sky.

id=\"h-harstad-is-the-friendly-city-with-the-viking-heritage-under-the-northern-lights\">Harstad is the friendly city with the Viking heritage under the Northern Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once, the mightiest and fiercest Vikings hailed from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.visitharstad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harstad <\/a>area. A sense of history lingers in this friendly, relaxed city nestled between snowy, forested hills and the fjord. Visit the picturesque 12th to 15th century <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/trondenes-church-is-the-worlds-northernmost-medieval-church\/\">Trondenes church<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/trondenes-historical-center-brings-the-middle-ages-to-life\/\">Trondenes Historic centre <\/a>gives you the full history of the area. Cross country ski is an art you can learn, or go snowshoeing to viewpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harstad is renowned for its <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/travel-by-your-palate-around-harstad\/\">good food<\/a> and has many cosy cafes and bars frequented by locals. The fjord city remains inexplicably undiscovered by the tourist crowds. Mountains, hills, islands, and fjords create many microclimates. Thus, when the guides from Harstad chase the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/come-to-harstad-for-relaxed-northern-lights-hunting\/\">Northern Lights<\/a>, they can often find clear skies without too long a drive..<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-featured-single-post

Lights?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But isn\u2019t Troms\u00f8 the best place for the Northern Lights? The <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/what-are-the-northern-lights\/\">particles from the sun<\/a> hit the atmosphere at heights between 80 and 800 km. They often stay around 100 km. This means you can look up anywhere across the North, even into Sweden and Finland, to see the same Northern Lights eruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes a difference is the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-weather-is-not-as-cold-as-you-think-in-arctic-norway\/\">weather<\/a>. When snow clouds empty over northern Norway, the best place to be is in pockets on the eastern slopes of any mountain. As chilly air creeps in from the east, coastal areas often offer the clearest views. However, the Northern Lights elude accurate forecasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can often see the Northern Lights from your place. Enjoy fun outdoor activities at night under the Northern Lights. You can also join special Northern Lights tours if the weather is acting up. The main thing is to stay active and be on the lookout in the best evening hours.<\/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\/2020\/07\/Arcticoncepts-Harstad-photograph-amazing-view-panorama-fjord-snowshoe-hiking-snow-foto-Bernd-Kossmann.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Arcticoncepts-Harstad-photograph-amazing-view-panorama-fjord-snowshoe-hiking-snow-foto-Bernd-Kossmann.jpg\" alt=\"At Keipen on snowshoes for that wide view \u00a9 Bernd Kossmann\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Arcticoncepts-Harstad-photograph-amazing-view-panorama-fjord-snowshoe-hiking-snow-foto-Bernd-Kossmann.jpg\" data-caption=\"At Keipen on snowshoes for that wide view \u00a9 Bernd Kossmann\" \/>\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\/10\/Kaibygget-i-Harstad-i-snofokk-Foto-Oivind-Arvola.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Kaibygget-i-Harstad-i-snofokk-Foto-Oivind-Arvola-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"The catamaran terminal in Harstad in drifting snow.

When light is at its scarcest in late December, the sun is several degrees below the horizon at midday. Still, you can see the landscapes, coloured in 50 shades of gold on a clear day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-polar-night-is-the-blue-time-in-northern-norway\/\">Polar Night<\/a> is much brighter than you might think. What a difference it is in March, when the sun has returned with force. Days are long, and the light is bright. Sometimes in January, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/the-sun-returns-to-northern-norway-in-january\/\">sun returns,<\/a> and February offers many hours of sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these months, however, are excellent for Northern Lights viewing. By early April, the lights start fading, and by the end of the month, this natural phenomenon is no more. Then it&#8217;s the season for ski touring, but that&#8217;s a different story.<\/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\/2020\/05\/Vinterstemning-sett-fra-MAgasugetIMG_20171031_143653.jpg\" data-size=\"1422x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Vinterstemning-sett-fra-MAgasugetIMG_20171031_143653.jpg\" alt=\"A winter&#039;s day at the &quot;stomach churner&quot; in Bergsfjord \u00a9 Hamn i Senja\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Vinterstemning-sett-fra-MAgasugetIMG_20171031_143653.jpg\" data-caption=\"A winter&#039;s day at the &quot;stomach churner&quot; in Bergsfjord \u00a9 Hamn i Senja\" \/>\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\/10\/DJI_0909-Pano-Edit-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DJI_0909-Pano-Edit-1-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"A Senja fjord saying farewell to the sun setting in the sea \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DJI_0909-Pano-Edit-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"A Senja fjord saying farewell to the sun setting in the sea \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\/2023\/10\/DSC_9853.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_9853-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Drifting snow around the Senja peaks a winter&#039;s night \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_9853.jpg\" data-caption=\"Drifting snow around the Senja peaks a winter&#039;s night \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\/2023\/10\/83A4333-Edit-Edit.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/83A4333-Edit-Edit-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Winter night at Senja Island \u00a9 Truls Aasnes\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/83A4333-Edit-Edit.jpg\" data-caption=\"Winter night at Senja Island \u00a9 Truls Aasnes\" \/>\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: A winter&#039;s day at the &quot;stomach churner&quot; in Bergsfjord \u00a9 Hamn i Senja<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: A Senja fjord saying farewell to the sun setting in the sea \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Drifting snow around the Senja peaks a winter&#039;s night \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Winter night at Senja Island \u00a9 Truls Aasnes<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-i-get-around\">&nbsp;How do I get around?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter and snow don\u2019t stop the North.

In coastal areas, the average tempertures are just a few degrees below freezing. Inland areas, notably in Lyngenfjord, tend to be colder, around -8\/-10 on average. You will probably freeze less in and around Troms\u00f8 than you do at home in winter. This is because the houses are nice and warm, typically with underfloor heating.

You will probably freeze less in and around Troms\u00f8 than you do at home in winter. This is because the houses are nice and warm, typically with underfloor heating.
