Holiday itinerary
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.

Holiday itinerary
- Day 1 · Tromso
Leave the city under the bridge and take the slow road west. Tesla to 80 before the island.
- Day 2 · Finnsnes
Gateway to Senja. Recharge by the Gisund Bridge; we arrived at 26 percent after a photo every kilometre.
- Day 3 · Gryllefjord
Tungeneset in a wind that tastes of iron. The road hangs over rocks the colour of wet slate.
- Day 5 · Skaland
Bergsbotn viewpoint and a quiet night. Destination charger at the guesthouse; mountain wind ate three percent parked.
- Day 8 · Tromso
Ferry or the Gisund Bridge back. Last Tesla; Senja stays in the rear-view as a wall of peaks.
