Come her for the endless variation in landscape, from a rocky, dramatic coastland through forests to friendly, wintery farmland. Despite being far north, people live and thrive her, you can meet them in fishing villages, small agricultural settlements and in small towns. Then add the chance to have fun in the snow in a mild winter climate.

Raging storms from the Atlantic, sometimes even with given names, crash against some of the earth\u2019s oldest rocks in an endless battle. The result is a wild, rugged, and weather-beaten landscape. Cliffs, rocky outcrops, narrow fjords and the 98 islands in the Bergsfjord; around every one of the countless turns there is a new vista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yet-it-is-full-of-life\">Yet it is full of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People live tight together in compact fishing villages, and after Christmas the coast teems with life, as the cod comes down from the high Arctic to spawn. Even before the sparse daylight, the boats leave places like Hus\u00f8y, Senjahopen and Gryllefjord and head for the fishing grounds. In the mid-afternoon dusk, big cod is hauled into fish factories, and leaves Senja almost immediately for gourmet restaurants all over Europe. The local boys and girls make an extra income by cutting the tongues from the cod. This blatant child labour means wealthy Senja kids have the latest in computer games. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull vnn-hero wp-block-vnn-hero\">\n\t\t\t<div

goes in twists and turns under majestic peaks, by rocky islets and in serpentines over mountain passes. This lifeline for the locals is a source of ever-changing panoramas for travellers and is a must for travellers. Make the detour out to Hus\u00f8y, a densely populated little island, and don\u2019t miss the lovely beach at B\u00f8v\u00e6r. Gryllefjord is colourful among the steep cliffs, the little 1785 church of Torsken is a minutes\u2019 drive away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winter-wonderland-is-hiding-behind-the-mountains\">Winter wonderland is hiding behind the mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a different Senja behind those rugged coastal peaks. The landscape flattens out, frozen rivers and lakes are surrounded by light boreal forests of birch, rowan and aspen, frost crystals shining in the low winter sun. Little country roads lead to small settlements, some of them only weekend homes these days. Come here for dogsledding and snowshoeing in low winter sun, and if it snows heavily on the ocean side, the clouds often open on this side. And you have good chances of spotting the light.<\/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\/traer-1.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\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\/traer-1-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Frost and snow in Senja&#039;s forested inland \u00a9 Truls Aasnes\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/traer-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Frost and snow in Senja&#039;s forested inland \u00a9 Truls Aasnes\" \/>\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\/Sor-senja7.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\/Sor-senja7-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Reindeer on Senja&#039;s southern side \u00a9 Truls Aasnes\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Sor-senja7.jpg\" data-caption=\"Reindeer on Senja&#039;s southern side \u00a9 Truls Aasnes\" \/>\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\">03<\/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><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\/Hoglivannet-Steffen-Fossbakk.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\/Hoglivannet-Steffen-Fossbakk-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Pre- Christmas frost at lake H\u00f8glivatnet on Senja Island \u00a9 Steffen Fossbakk\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Hoglivannet-Steffen-Fossbakk.jpg\" data-caption=\"Pre- Christmas frost at lake H\u00f8glivatnet on Senja Island \u00a9 Steffen Fossbakk\" \/>\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: Frost and snow in Senja&#039;s forested inland \u00a9 Truls Aasnes<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Reindeer on Senja&#039;s southern side \u00a9 Truls Aasnes<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Winter night at Senja Island \u00a9 Truls Aasnes<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Pre- Christmas frost at lake H\u00f8glivatnet on Senja Island \u00a9 Steffen Fossbakk<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-friendly-farmland-lines-the-inner-waterway\">Friendly farmland lines the inner waterway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gisundet waterway separates Senja from the mainland. Along both shores, white expanses of snow-covered farmland are punctuated by red barns and colourful houses. The channel itself is full of ship\u2019s traffic, as this is the main artery up and down the coast.

From everywhere, you see across the wide fjord to distant mountain islands. Once, the little island of Tran\u00f8y was the hub of activity in the area, attested by the 18th c. church and the red-painted vicarage. The valley of \u00c5nderdalen is full of gnarled pine trees, and is easily explored on snow shoes or by dog sled. The Tran\u00f8ybotn bay is perfect for kayaking, even in winter. The road ends at Skrolsvik, a picturesque harbour facing the open sea. <\/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\/Tim_Vanhoutteghem_-08.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1601\">\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\/Tim_Vanhoutteghem_-08-2048x1366.jpg\" alt=\"If kayaking at night, you might get surprised by Aurora \u00a9 Tim Vanhoutteghem \/ Norwegian Wild\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tim_Vanhoutteghem_-08.jpg\" data-caption=\"If kayaking at night, you might get surprised by Aurora \u00a9 Tim Vanhoutteghem \/ Norwegian Wild\" \/>\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\/norwegianwild000.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\/norwegianwild000-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Nocturnal observation post at Tran\u00f8ybotn, Southern Senja \u00a9 Norwegian Wild\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/norwegianwild000.jpg\" data-caption=\"Nocturnal observation post at Tran\u00f8ybotn, Southern Senja \u00a9 Norwegian Wild\" \/>\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\/2019\/12\/\u00e5nder1.jpg\" data-size=\"1329x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/\u00e5nder1.jpg\" alt=\"Snowshoeing among old pine trees in the \u00c5nderdalen National Park \u00a9 Dag Arild Larsen \/ Norwegian Wild\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/\u00e5nder1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Snowshoeing among old pine trees in the \u00c5nderdalen National Park \u00a9 Dag Arild Larsen \/ Norwegian Wild\" \/>\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\/IMG_5645.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1351\">\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\/IMG_5645-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"Kayak coffee in winter sunshine in Tran\u00f8ybotn \u00a9 Norwegian Wild\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5645.jpg\" data-caption=\"Kayak coffee in winter sunshine in Tran\u00f8ybotn \u00a9 Norwegian Wild\" \/>\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: If kayaking at night, you might get surprised by Aurora \u00a9 Tim Vanhoutteghem \/ Norwegian Wild<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Nocturnal observation post at Tran\u00f8ybotn, Southern Senja \u00a9 Norwegian Wild<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Snowshoeing among old pine trees in the \u00c5nderdalen National Park \u00a9 Dag Arild Larsen \/ Norwegian Wild<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Kayak coffee in winter sunshine in Tran\u00f8ybotn \u00a9 Norwegian Wild<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finnsnes-is-the-hub-of-activity\">Finnsnes is the hub of activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing old and quaint about Finnsnes.

These include the platform high about the Bergsfjord, the Tungenesset viewpoint towards the pointed Okshornan cliffs and the wide seaview from Ballesvika beach. If it snows or rains, you should, however, head inland.

There is dog sledding at several locations, and you can go snowshoeing in lovely coastal or inland landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide

Senja now has Northern Lights chasers available, taking you to the best locations for the northern lights. The best locations vary from one night to the other, with the weather as the principal question mark. Northern Lights guides increases your chance of spotting the light, both because they are mobile and can drive you to where the clear skies are, and because of their insight into Northern Lights activity and changing weather patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-senja-is-surprisingly-mild-in-winter\">Senja is surprisingly mild in winter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being around 300 km\/200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Senja enjoys a mild winter climate. In fact, the snow cover along the outer coast can be iffy most of the winter, although the surrounding peaks are usually snow covered all through winter. The inland core of Senja, along with the farming area along the inner waterway, can usually guarantee snow from Christmas to Easter and beyond. Average temperatures range from -1 on the outer most coast to -5 in inland locations in January\/February. By March, daytime temperatures are on the increase, but the night remains cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9649a0d9

light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For six-seven weeks in Winter, the sun is absent. This doesn\u2019t however, mean that it\u2019s dark all the time. For several hours, there is a low light with lovely colours, and at mid-day the southern skies are ablaze with sunset colours. The show is finished off with a lovely, deep blue light in the early afternoon. Already in mid-January, the sun is visible again. By February, the days are longer and sunnier, and in March long sunny days invite to sightseeing and snow fun. In the very last days of March, the daylight hours start eating into the best Northern Lights hours in the evening. Then your Northern Lights chances move from excellent around spring equinox to iffy in the first days of April. By late April it is simply too late, and daylight has taken over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eat-that-big-cod\">Eat that big cod<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From January on, the Norwegian Artic cod comes to Senja for very amorous reasons. However, it risks being caught in the act by the fishermen. This means it\u2019s time for <em>m\u00f8lja<\/em>, a rustic dish of cod, liver, and roe, served with potatoes and carrots. Also look out for pan-fried cod\u2019s tongues with grated carrots. The shallow waters along Senja\u2019s southern coast deliver tasty, exclusive halibut, served fried or poached with a good sauce. Carnivores should look out for the local lamb.<\/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\/2021\/12\/012538-hugo-fagermo-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1241\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/012538-hugo-fagermo-2048x993.jpg\" alt=\"Flexible view platform overlooking the Bergsfjord on Senja&#039;s outer coast \u00a9 Hugo Fagermo\/Statens vegvesen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/012538-hugo-fagermo-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"Flexible view platform overlooking the Bergsfjord on Senja&#039;s outer coast \u00a9 Hugo Fagermo\/Statens vegvesen\" \/>\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\/2021\/12\/frid-jorunn-stabell-2-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1647\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/frid-jorunn-stabell-2-768x494.jpg\" alt=\"The beach at Ersfjordstranda in winter weather \u00a9 Fri-Jorunn Stabell\/Statens vegvesen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/frid-jorunn-stabell-2-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"The beach at Ersfjordstranda in winter weather \u00a9 Fri-Jorunn Stabell\/Statens vegvesen\" \/>\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\/2021\/12\/012921-frid-jorunn-stabell-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1706\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/012921-frid-jorunn-stabell-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"The port of Senjahopen has big and small boats \u00a9 Frid Jorunn Stabell\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/012921-frid-jorunn-stabell-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"The port of Senjahopen has big and small boats \u00a9 Frid Jorunn Stabell\" \/>\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\/2021\/12\/012911-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1706\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/012911-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Lights and shadows a winter&#039;s day on the ocean side of Senja Island \u00a9 Hugo Fagermo\/Statens vegvesen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/012911-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"Lights and shadows a winter&#039;s day on the ocean side of Senja Island \u00a9 Hugo Fagermo\/Statens vegvesen\" \/>\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: Flexible view platform overlooking the Bergsfjord on Senja&#039;s outer coast \u00a9 Hugo Fagermo\/Statens vegvesen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The beach at Ersfjordstranda in winter weather \u00a9 Fri-Jorunn Stabell\/Statens vegvesen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The port of Senjahopen has big and small boats \u00a9 Frid Jorunn Stabell<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Lights and shadows a winter&#039;s day on the ocean side of Senja Island \u00a9 Hugo Fagermo\/Statens vegvesen<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-should-you-eat\">Where should you eat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Senja-ites want to take grandma for dinner, they take her to <strong>Senjastua<\/strong> near Finnsnes.

Fish specialities should also be sampled at <strong>Salteriet<\/strong> in Mefjordv\u00e6r, often adding a bit of international spice to the gifts of the ocean. <strong>Storbrygga<\/strong> Spiseri in Hamn i Senja is the occasion for festive dinners on the dockside, facing the majestic mountains of Senja. Little <strong>Skagi<\/strong> in Skaland serves up light lunches and today\u2019s hearty dinner, attracting locals and tourists alike. <strong>Senja by heart<\/strong> in Torsken prepares local fish with those international influences in a small village full of young people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-accommodation-in-senja-is-always-memorable\">Your accommodation in Senja is always memorable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The big chains haven\u2019t discovered Senja yet.

Troms\u00f8 has fancy restaurants, rowdy bars, museums, art galleries and attractions, and a wide array of Northern Lights tours, dog sledding, snowmobiling and countless other activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, peace, quiet and relaxation, the way you can have it in Senja, is harder to come by. The genius combo for that winter holiday week could then be a combination of lively Troms\u00f8 and peaceful, beautiful Senja. Stressed-out office workers should spend more time in Senja, and party animals should stay longer in Troms\u00f8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-to-senja-and-around\">Getting to Senja and around<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearest airport is <strong>Bardufoss<\/strong> (BDU), with direct flights to Oslo. From Bardufoss, the bus to Finnsnes takes an hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Troms\u00f8<\/strong> (TOS) further north is better connected with more international connections. In winter, you can take a bus directly from the airport &#8211; stopping in the city centre &#8211; to all the major destinations in Senja, offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.bestarctic.com\/en\/to-do\/2667824\/arctic-route-senja-troms%C3%B8-senja\/showdetails?search=cbispid%3D2667824&amp;utm_source=visitsenjaarcticroutewinter&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=visitsenjaarcticroutewinterreferralHow\">Senja Direct\/Arctic Route<\/a> &#8211; easy and comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the hours don&#8217;t suit you, regular public transport is another option. From Troms\u00f8&#8217;s city centre, you can go one hour by catamaran boat to <strong>Finnsnes<\/strong>. From Finnsnes, buses leave for every corner the island Senja as well as the adjacent mainland areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another catamaran of interest is the one leaving Troms\u00f8 for <strong>Lysnes<\/strong> on Senja\u2019s north-eastern tip. From here, the bus leaves for the villages on Senja\u2019s ocean side, notably Hus\u00f8y, Mefjordv\u00e6r and Gryllefjord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hire a car in Troms\u00f8, drive to Brensholmen near Sommar\u00f8y Island and take the ferry to <strong>Botnhamn<\/strong> on Senja\u2019s northwestern side. This is where the Norwegian Scenic Route starts, an excellent gateway to Senja.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\"
