Norway's fairy-tale island under the aurora sky.

4.8
out of 5

Senja is a wild and rugged island in the north of Norway, stretching out over more than 700km of Arctic coastline. The dramatic mountain peaks, sheltered fjords and pristine forests make it a paradise for hikers, climbers and nature-lovers, while the fishing villages and tiny hamlets offer a glimpse of traditional Norwegian life. In winter, the island is a magical place of snow-capped peaks and frozen lakes, while in summer the Midnight Sun bathes the landscape in a warm glow. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or an adventure-filled holiday, Senja is a must-see destination in Norway.
