Troms酶: A Magical Arctic Experience, Tromso, Norway
I started my day in Troms酶, Norway on Mt Fl酶ya looking down on the city as the sun rose and it was bathed in a pink and pale blue hues. Magical.
Troms酶 is reputed to be one of the best places to view the Northern Lights and every evening fleets of vehicles head out into the surrounding countryside in the hope of seeing them. During the day ships sail off to view the rich wildlife in the sea around it. The city, one of the largest in Norway, is on the rugged coastline of Northern Norway inside the Arctic Circle. It has a rich history as a result of its Pomor Trade with its neighbour Russia and its popularity as a starting point for polar expeditions. Today, this history is reflected in its historic buildings and an interesting variety of museums and attractions. I started my day with a ride on the Fjellheisen Cable Car.
During the winter the sun does not rise in Troms酶 until mid-morning and coincides with the first journey of the Fjellheisen Cable Car to a viewing point on Mt Fl酶ya at 10 am. This is the best time to ride this very popular cable car. Beyond the viewing platform there are walking trails to the top of Mt Fl酶ya. Refreshments are available in the Fjellstua Caf茅, which serves hot beverages and food including reindeer burgers and reindeer stew. It is a pleasant walk from the city centre, across the Troms酶 Bridge to the bottom of the cable car. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
