Finnsnes & Gisund Bridge

Finnsnes / Gisundbrua

Gateway town to Senja, with the Gisund Bridge completed in 1972 spanning the strait to link island and mainland.

Finnsnes is the administrative center and transport hub of Senja municipality, with supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and gas stations. Fast boats from Tromsø also stop here, making it a good place to resupply and stay before heading onto the island. The Gisund Bridge, completed in 1972, is about 1,147 meters long and is the only bridge connecting the mainland with Senja. The strait and distant mountains can be photographed from the bridge and from both shores. It is about a 1-hour drive from Finnsnes to the West Coast National Tourist Route.
