What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meeting point is Fløyvegen bus stop on Fløyvegen (street) in Tromsdalen. The stop is along the 26 bus route. Bus tickets can be purchased with the Svipper app. It is a 30 minute walk when starting on the bridge from Tromsøya (island) and a 13 minute walk from the Arctic Cathedral.
What to expect
Less frequented by tourists and even locals, the Earthling route offers a quieter way to enjoy Tromsø’s natural beauty and offers a chance at seeing wildlife such as reindeer, foxes, ptarmigan, hares and eagles.
At the peak you will be rewarded with a sandwich, a warm drink and a snack. Time to take photos of the sweeping views of the city below, the fjords and the surrounding mountains!
Next we’ll trek down to Fjellstua, a cafe where you can enjoy the comfort and satisfaction of a tasty dish. If you wish to purchase a one-way ticket to take the cable car the rest of the way down, Fjellheisen (cable car) is right here! From here it is also possible to descend by using the sherpatrappa (stairs). Otherwise we’ll continue on down to where we started the hike.
