Tromsø lies in the heart of an area that affords you plenty of opportunities to relax or experience nature at its most challenging. In either case, you are in for the time of your life. A wealth of options awaits you just a quarter of an hour from the centre of town. There are steep slopes for mountain lovers, while others can select the kind of terrain that suits them best. And just outside of town, you can choose from a series of summit hikes.

Here you can fish in mountain lakes and fjords, or you can head for the open sea. The sailing is good, whether by boat or by windsurfer. Wooded islands are full of berries, just waiting to be picked, and hunting is a popular pastime on the open plains and in the valleys. You will see people canoeing practically day and night throughout the summer, and the Midnight Sun will make you feel as though you had all the time in the world to commune with nature.
