English
The island of Senja is located about 300 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the northwestern coast of Norway. It is the second largest island in the country and is variously known as "the magical island" or "Norway in miniature," due to the wide variety of landscapes found on the island. Here you will find deep fjords, alpine peaks and rolling terrain dotted with lakes and summits.
The highest peaks reach 1,000 m, making them excellent objectives for day trips, and many descend directly to the sea, offering breathtaking scenery. For fitter and stronger skiers, there are numerous options for traverses, linkups, and steep descents to make the days truly epic. The island also has a good road network, allowing you to reach even the most remote locations in about an hour from where we stay.
