Why Fjellheisen and Storsteinen matters

The Fjellheisen cable car lifts you above Tromsø in a few minutes. From the Storsteinen platform you can see the city on its island, the bridge, the mountains and the sea. In winter it's a favourite spot to watch the aurora, and in summer to watch the midnight sun. Dress warmly, because it is windy at the top.

Talking points

  • The ride is just a few minutes.
  • The viewpoint overlooks the city and islands.
  • Both midnight sun and northern lights are visible from here in season.
