Tromsdalstinden
Tromsø’s “sacred mountain,” a pyramid-shaped peak 1,238 meters high. In summer you can hike to the top in a full day for views over the city and fjords.
Tromsdalstinden sits at the southeast end of the Tromsdalen valley and is regarded as a sacred mountain by the Sámi. Its cone-shaped summit is visible from the city center. In summer you can hike from the Tromsdalen valley to the top, a round trip of about 7–9 hours covering about 16 km. The final section crosses scree slopes. From the summit you can see Tromsø Island, the fjords and the Lyngen Alps. You can also extend the hike from the top station of the cable car along the Fjellstua ridge. It is recommended only in July through September, when there is no snow and the weather is stable. In winter, the area is a high-risk avalanche zone.
