Highlights
  • The Arctic Cathedral - We meet by the main entrance of the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsdalen. If you want we can do a quick tour around the church. There is a small admission fee to get into the church that is not included in the price at the moment.
  • Sherpatrappa - We walk together from the cathedral to the starting point of the Sherpa stairs in Tromsdalen, The walk from the cathedral to the path is about 15-20 min. The Sherpa´s finished the stairs in 2019, and is 1203 steps tall. We make several stops along the way for a nice view and short breaks. Remember to bring a bottle of water.
  • Tromso - From the viewpoint on top of the Storsteinen mountain (where the cable car ends) we do a 1,5km walk to the next mountain peak at 660 meters. This is where you find the Pomor flag, visible from downtown Tromsø. On the way we make a short stop by the Steinbø cabin, and have a snack on top.

For the return journey we decide whether we walk the same way down or choose an alternative route along one of the many paths in the area. We end the hike by the pickup point next to the Arctic cathedral.

Additional Information

Embark on a guided hike up one of the beloved mountains just outside Tromsø. With an experienced guide, you’ll never lose your way and will gain a unique insight into the city and its culture. The tour is led by professional guides who are natives of the area, ready to share stories about life in the world’s second-largest city north of the Arctic Circle and answer any questions you may have. This is your opportunity to get an immersive introduction to “Northern Norway”.

This adventure takes place during the bright season in the north. The midnight sun is visible from mid-May to the end of July, and the nights remain bright throughout May and well into August.

The views are spectacular throughout the hike, regardless of the path chosen. You’ll see Tromsø from a different perspective and enjoy panoramic vistas of the mountains on several islands surrounding the city.

  • This is a hike going upwards for half the time we are out. A nice way to see Tromsø from another angle and get some pulse.
  • This is a hiking tour. We will not ride a cable car.

Excellent experience with an excellent person: Reidar! - We spent a all week exploring Lofoten, Senja and the Tromso area … the scenery and the feeling in these places are fantastic. The highlight of our trip was our guide/ driver Reidar. He is simply the best … knowledgeable, kind , and great company to be with, we are highly recommending him and we definitely be back.
