Senja coast
Eight days on the Norwegian Scenic Route Senja: ocean, fjords and mountains on an island that still feels like a secret next to the Lofoten posters. Tungeneset, Bergsbotn and the road that hangs over the water. Tesla in Tromso and Recharge in Finnsnes keep the hops short.
Season: Coastal road open year-round; winter storms and ice. Summer midnight sun, autumn northern lights. Ferries from Gryllefjord toward Andenes are seasonal.
