The drama on the outer coast feels like a different world from the forested friendliness of the inland. If you have a few days in autumn, Senja is beauty, fresh walks, a bit of fun on the water and plenty of cosy relaxation.

Hard and rocky outcrops, sandy beaches, monumental, dark cliffs, and impressive peaks are found in every direction. Your glance is drawn towards the west, to the endless horizon and the ever-changing play of the clouds.&nbsp; In September, the creeping heather and low-grown shrubbery dresses for autumn against a backdrop of black rock, irresistible to every camera lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-norwegian-scenic-route-meanders-along-the-coast\">The Norwegian Scenic Route meanders along the coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a road following this outer coast, narrow and winding, with a new breath-taking view around every bend. Part for the Norwegian Scenic Route programme, they have architecturally designed viewpoints and monumental toilets. Some of the compact fishing villages are busy and hard-working, others are peaceful and lost in time. All invite to a stroll with the camera.&nbsp;<\/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\/06\/DJI_0272-Pano.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\/06\/DJI_0272-Pano-1638x2048.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn calm in Senja&#039;s inland \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DJI_0272-Pano.jpg\" data-caption=\"Autumn calm in Senja&#039;s inland \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\/DJI_0433-Pano-Edit.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\/06\/DJI_0433-Pano-Edit-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Herbst an einem Senjaer Fjord, mit Schnee auf den Gipfeln \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DJI_0433-Pano-Edit.jpg\" data-caption=\"Herbst an einem Senjaer Fjord, mit Schnee auf den Gipfeln \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\/DSC_4472-Pano-Edit.jpg\" data-size=\"1714x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_4472-Pano-Edit-768x1075.jpg\" alt=\"Klare B\u00e4che im Herbst auf der Insel Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_4472-Pano-Edit.jpg\" data-caption=\"Klare B\u00e4che im Herbst auf der Insel Senja \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\/DSC_4581-Edit.jpg\" data-size=\"1714x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_4581-Edit-768x1075.jpg\" alt=\"Herbstmelancholie in der Mitte Senjas \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_4581-Edit.jpg\" data-caption=\"Herbstmelancholie in der Mitte Senjas \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" \/>\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: Autumn calm in Senja&#039;s inland \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Herbst an einem Senjaer Fjord, mit Schnee auf den Gipfeln \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Klare B\u00e4che im Herbst auf der Insel Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Herbstmelancholie in der Mitte Senjas \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-senja-has-a-friendly-side\">Senja has a friendly side<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross the coastal ridge \u2013 it can take you twenty minutes &#8211; and there is a different Senja.&nbsp; Light birch forests, little streams and lakes and farmland along the Gisundet waterway; it looks friendly and welcoming.

Lovely Gibostad is an old trade centre on the Gisundet waterway, and Mefjordv\u00e6r is a picturesque fishing village with a lot of old houses. &nbsp;<\/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\/03\/Roger-Ellingen.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1602\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Roger-Ellingen-2048x1367.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn at Finns\u00e6ter \u00a9 Roger Ellingsen\/Statens vegvesen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Roger-Ellingen.jpg\" data-caption=\"Autumn at Finns\u00e6ter \u00a9 Roger Ellingsen\/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\/2023\/04\/Moody-Segla_VisitSenjaRegion.jpg\" data-size=\"1800x2400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Moody-Segla_VisitSenjaRegion-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Segla at the end of summer \u00a9 Visit Senja Region\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Moody-Segla_VisitSenjaRegion.jpg\" data-caption=\"Mount Segla at the end of summer \u00a9 Visit Senja Region\" \/>\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\/DSC_7233-Edit-2.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\/06\/DSC_7233-Edit-2-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Ochre, deep brown and white - the colours of Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_7233-Edit-2.jpg\" data-caption=\"Ochre, deep brown and white - the colours of Senja \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\/DSC_0757-Edit-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2048x2560\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0757-Edit-768x960.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn Rain thundering down the hillsides in Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_0757-Edit-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"Autumn Rain thundering down the hillsides in Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen\" \/>\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: Autumn at Finns\u00e6ter \u00a9 Roger Ellingsen\/Statens vegvesen<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Mount Segla at the end of summer \u00a9 Visit Senja Region<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Ochre, deep brown and white &#8211; the colours of Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Autumn Rain thundering down the hillsides in Senja \u00a9 Kristoffer Vangen<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-autumn-northern-lights-can-come-in-august\">The autumn northern lights can come in August<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Senja is right under the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/autumn-auroras-that-you-can-see-in-a-tshirt-perhaps\/\" data-type=\"artikler\" data-id=\"1178\">Northern Lights Oval<\/a>, the zone on the globe with the most <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/what-are-the-northern-lights\/\" data-type=\"artikler\" data-id=\"7258\">Northern Lights<\/a>. The frail lights are completely outdone by the midnight sun, but sometimes around mid August, you can be lucky to spot them. Night by night, the chances increase, and by mid September, the chances are as good as in the middle of winter. So, with a bit of luck, you can see a big eruption with a mild f\u00f6hn breeze in your hair. What a difference to the frozen winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-do-you-see-the-northern-lights-in-senja\">Where do you see the Northern Lights in Senja<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The altitude of the Northern Lights is usually above 120 km, and a biggie can be up to 800 km up in the atmosphere. On a clear night, it is consequently of no importance where in the area you happen to be. However, clear skies are of the essence, and that is by no means guaranteed. The intricate topography of Senja creates a lot of microclimates, though. If heavy clouds come in from the sea, you might still have pockets of clear skies in the inland valleys. A steady wind from the inland makes the outer coast the best place. Being mobile is therefore the best.<\/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\/06\/Hamn-i-Senja.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\/06\/Hamn-i-Senja-1638x2048.jpg\" alt=\"Viewpoint on Senja&#039;s outer coast.

If you stay in a small community in Senja, there are usually few other light sources. If possible, walk along the beach rather than along the road. Wear something reflective to be seen by cars. if you walk along the road. With a headlamp, you can also walk on a forest path and even make it to a mountain top. There are also Northern Lights guides in Senja. If the skies are not clear, and you really want to try, having a car is great. Then you can attempt to find a place behind the next mountains with clear skies. Your accommodation can often be consulted for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-you-do-on-an-autumn-evening\">What do you do on an autumn evening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When darkness falls on Senja Island in the autumn, entertainment is primarily looking out for the Northern Lights, studying the night sky or even curling up in the sofa listening to wind and rain. Light a candle, sip some tea and relax, we hardly have time for that these days. There are also some good <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsenja.no\/en\/mat-og-drikke-0\" target=\"_blank\">eateries <\/a>in small places in Senja, and they typically serve up local fare like fish and mutton. Since their opening times can vary through the week, we suggest you plan a little bit ahead and maybe make a reservation. Local pubs tend to be open in the extended weekend, and are low-key, cosy affairs.

A rorbu can be a simple fisherman\u2019s shack, but in Senja you typically live in purpose-built modern huts with all mod-cons. There are also simpler budget alternatives as well as more basecamp\u2019ish places where activities are organised.

The last days of August and the first of September can be sunny and summery. Later, crispy clear days with mild temperatures can be followed by bitingly cold nights. On the other hand, an ocean warmed by summer can send wind and rain to the outer coast of Senja. You may also wake up to an early snowfall in September, but by midmorning it\u2019s all gone. More stable snow can sometimes occur on the mountain tops in September, but it\u2019s never deep. Pack water-resistant outdoor clothes, woollen underwear, a hat and gloves. Your shoes should be able to handle rain, wet terrain and slippery autumn leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-combine-senja-with-harstad-or-troms\">Combine Senja with Harstad or Troms\u00f8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The island of Senja is peacefull bliss and pure nature.

From there, there is an airport bus to Finnsnes. From Finnsnes there are local buses everywhere. You can also pick up a rental car at the airport for increased flexibility, although you should prebook it. Since Troms\u00f8 (TOS) is an airport with more flights, and sometimes more discount tickets available, Troms\u00f8 can also be a good solution, especially if you want to spend some time there too. A third airport that could come in handy, is Harstad\/Narvik (previously known as Evenes, EVE). This is of particular interest if the city of Harstad is included in your plans. Do remember that both airlines sell discount one way tickets. This means you can travel into Troms\u00f8 and out of Bardufoss, notably. \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=\"how-do-i-get-to-senja-from-troms\u00f8?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-4\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tHow do I get to Senja from Troms\u00f8?\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-4\" aria-labelledby=\"how-do-i-get-to-senja-from-troms\u00f8?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tThere is a catamaran boat 2-4 times a day to Finnsnes.
