Car-free Day Trip from Tromsø to Ersfjordbotn

Available for hire
If you're visiting Tromsø in winter and looking for a day trip away from the city, look no further than Ersfjorbotn! In this guide, you'll find our complete 1-Day Itinerary.
In November 2024, my husband and I travelled to Tromsø’s for a week and decided to leave the city for a day to explore the serene beauty of Ersfjordbotn—without a car! Just 20 kilometres away from Tromsø, this picturesque fjord was the perfect destination for a quiet and stress-free getaway.
We hopped on a local bus, enjoying the snowy landscapes along the way. The crisp air and early winter light made the fjord’s dramatic peaks even more magical. We strolled along the shore, marvelling at how still and serene everything felt. A stop at a cosy café warmed us up with coffee and pastries while we soaked in the stunning views.
Ersfjordbotn was everything we hoped for—peaceful, beautiful, and so easy to reach. This trip reminded us that sometimes, slowing down and going car-free can make the journey even more special. If you’re in Tromsø, I highly recommend it!

Just a 30min drive from Tromsø, Ersfjordbotn is a picturesque fishing village offering stunning natural beauty and a peaceful atmosphere. Nestled on Kvaløya Island, surrounded by the majestic Lyngen Alps and the serene waters of Ersfjorden, it’s the perfect escape into Norway’s Arctic wonders.
Once a fishing settlement, Ersfjordbotn has now become a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The village’s breathtaking scenery, especially during the winter months when the Northern Lights illuminate the sky, makes it a photographer's paradise. Summer brings the Midnight Sun, ideal for hiking and exploring the surrounding landscapes. Popular hikes, such as the route to Mount Tønsåsen, offer sweeping fjord views. The area’s tranquil vibe also makes it a quiet alternative to the bustling city of Tromsø.
