Overview
From downtown Tromsø, the Fjellheisen cable car rises to the 421 m summit of Mount Storsteinen, where a 360-degree panorama opens over Tromsø Island, surrounding fjords, the Norwegian Sea, and snow-capped peaks. It's a prime aurora viewpoint in winter and a fine spot for the midnight sun in summer. Well-marked hiking trails fan out from the top for those who want to keep exploring.
