Storsteinen — Attraction in Tromsø

Been to that glorious mountain twice so far. First time at dusk and second time right after the first snow! Both times offered such unique, incredible moments! You can get here by car, park at the cable car paid parking lot (machine paid in advance by coins\cc) or by bus from city center #26 going to fjellheisen. It's a 30 min ride as it goes into different neighborhoods. *Keep in mind the bus stop you get off at is also the one you get on at back to city center. Take #26 going to flyplassen (airport) via sentrum.

Views are phenomenal, and it's really worth walking around and enjoying it from different angles. When we got there, there was 0 visibility, but it brightened up completely within minutes, reavilng Tromsø's...

Just like any hike, go prepared, with proper shoes, a...
