Sometimes they also refer to it simply as \u201cthe island\u201d. There is a city centre, with a range of hotels, as well as a few smaller accommodation options.

In true Northern Norwegian fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ski touring begins on Troms\u00f8ya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to hotels and restaurants, Troms\u00f8 has many other amenities you would love after a day on the mountain, such as an outdoor sauna. Two bridges connect \u201cthe island\u201d to Kval\u00f8ya and Tromsdalen \u2013 or simply the mainland, as the locals call it. The island also has tunnel connections to the mainland if you don\u2019t like the look of all that traffic on the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can live a lifetime as a skier in Troms\u00f8 and not have enough time to climb all the peaks accessible from Troms\u00f8. From the city centre, places like Kval\u00f8ya, Ringvass\u00f8y, Malangen, Lakselvbukt and others are only a short drive away.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\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\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-20.jpg\" data-size=\"1199x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-20.jpg\" alt=\"Lack of snow is a close to non existant problem in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-20.jpg\" data-caption=\"Lack of snow is a close to non existant problem in Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\" \/>\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\/2020\/11\/002253_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1196x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/002253_Yngve-Olsen-Saebbe_www.nordnorge.com_-768x514.jpg\" alt=\"Troms\u00f8ya, the Troms\u00f8 Island, is where downtown is found.

This tour starts at the parking area in H\u00e5k\u00f8ybotn and is probably the most-skied mountain side in Troms\u00f8 in a season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About fifteen minutes before arriving in H\u00e5k\u00f8ybotn, you can choose to turn right toward Kaldfjorden at Troms\u00f8\u2019s own gourmet market, Eide Handel. This road will take you north on Kval\u00f8ya, and the first ski touring opportunity will come up on the left when you see the sign to Kattfjordeidet. This is en route to the popular island&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/sommaroy-island-an-island-for-all-seasons\/\">Sommar\u00f8y<\/a>, with plenty of ski touring opportunities. You will find a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.friflytbestill.no\/boker\/english-titles\/ski-touring-in-troms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recommendations <\/a>in the many&nbsp;books from Troms County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The northern end of Kval\u00f8ya has some classic peaks that require good conditions and plenty of experience. Perhaps hire a mountain guide to Store Hollenderen or Storstolpan when spring arrives in Northern Norway?<\/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\/12\/EspenNordahlWebStrlDSC_0319-scaled.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-safety-first\">Safety first!<\/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=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/artikkel\/skredeksperten-espen-nordahl-om-sikkerhet-pa-toppturer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Avalanche expert Espen Nordahl on staying safe when ski touring<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/check-todays-avalanche-forecast_skredversjon_WEB.jpg 1754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can check updated avalanche forecasts at any given time \u00a9 Politiet (The Police)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ringvass\u00f8ya is the neighbouring island to Kval\u00f8ya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like winter island hopping, you\u2019re in the right place. If you turn right instead of left when you cross the bridge over to Kval\u00f8ya, you will arrive on Ringvass\u00f8ya after a 30-minute drive and a small underwater tunnel. Here, you\u2019ll find a mix of tree skiing and open, mountain terrain. If the view to the east is clear, you will be able to see the Lyngen Alps in the far distance. Half of the island is in the Municipality of Karls\u00f8y, and Ringvass\u00f8y is Norway\u2019s sixth largest island. Kval\u00f8ya is the fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ski touring on the mainland outside Troms\u00f8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you cross the bridge over to the mainland, you are on your way to any number of ski touring peaks. From the bridge, you can opt to continue on toward Fagernes, with popular mountains like Fagerfjell. Or you have a wide range of options in the area around Lakselvbukt a little bit further south, and to the west is a popular area called Malangen, which has been mentioned in many ski touring books. Once in Lakselvbukt, you are approaching the very famous Lyngen Alps, and perhaps the combination of Troms\u00f8 and the Lyngen Alps is your big goal for the winter?<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\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\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-12-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1199x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-12-1.jpg\" alt=\"Full moon, Northern Lights and ski touring: Jackpot! \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-12-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Full moon, Northern Lights and ski touring: Jackpot! \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8\" \/>\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\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-13-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1199x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-13-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"You might be lucky to spot the Northern Lights until mid April when skiing with a headlamp \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-13-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"You might be lucky to spot the Northern Lights until mid April when skiing with a headlamp \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\" \/>\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\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-5-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-5-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"A low sun in the early season \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso-5-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"A low sun in the early season \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8\" \/>\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: Full moon, Northern Lights and ski touring: Jackpot! \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: You might be lucky to spot the Northern Lights until mid April when skiing with a headlamp \u00a9 Lars Mathisen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: A low sun in the early season \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A car is always a good idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan ahead! The first thing you should do when planning a ski touring holiday is to book a car and accommodation. For safety reasons, your ambition should not be to reach specific peaks. Have a Plan B, Plan C and Plan D \u2013 and choose the one that works with the snow conditions. Troms\u00f8 and the surrounding areas have had problems in recent years, with persistent weak layers in the snow cover throughout much of the season. Plan for safety if you go alone, or contact a mountain guide for a guided tour. The areas in and around Troms\u00f8 have more than enough variety to ensure you make a safe choice for your holiday. Just to be clear: Safe does not mean boring \u2013 you\u2019ll have a blast!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\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\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso.jpg\" data-size=\"1199x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso.jpg\" alt=\"A more than average headlamp can enhance the ski experience \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Lars-mathisen_visit-tromso.jpg\" data-caption=\"A more than average headlamp can enhance the ski experience \u00a9 Lars Mathisen\/Visit Troms\u00f8\" \/>\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\/2020\/11\/001376_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/001376_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"The fjord Kaldfjorden is close to town and is surrounded by popular ski mountains \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/001376_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"The fjord Kaldfjorden is close to town and is surrounded by popular ski mountains \u00a9 B\u00e5rd L\u00f8ken\" \/>\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\/2020\/11\/001885_Knut-Hansvold_www.nordnorge.com_-2.jpg\" data-size=\"1195x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/001885_Knut-Hansvold_www.nordnorge.com_-2-768x514.jpg\" alt=\"Leaving town this way, you&#039;re heading to Troms\u00f8&#039;s mainland side.
