Senja (Tungeneset)
Senja
Norway's second-largest island, with a national scenic route; the Tungeneset boardwalk faces the jagged 'Devil's Teeth' peaks and is a popular day trip from Tromsø.
Senja lies southwest of Tromsø and is known as 'mini Lofoten.' Along its northern shore, the National Tourist Route passes the Bergsbotn viewpoint platform, the Tungeneset boardwalk, and the Hamn and Mefjordvær fishing villages. The Tungeneset boardwalk extends out over the seaside rocks, facing the serrated Okshornan peaks, known as the 'Devil's Teeth,' which look especially striking at sunset. From Tromsø, it's about 2.5 to 3 hours by car (or in summer, by fast boat to Finnsnes), and a day tour takes 10 to 12 hours, so those short on time should consider staying one night on the island. Some mountain roads may close in winter.
