What kind of autumn are you talking about? We hope, at Ersfjordbotn Brygge, you think about a european basic one, because here, up to the Polar Circle, autumn appears from August 15th to October 1 st! So, for a traditionnal autumn from end of September until December, there is a lot to experience, and you need to plan a bit to do the maximum you can!

Temperature and light in autumn in Northern Norway

Any case, our outside temperature change from up to 18°C to less than 10°C in the middle of august. But you can expect still, to have a nice weather with only some rainy days. By the way, as we use to say here:

There is no bad weather, only bad clothes!

So between August and December, here in Tromsø, you can expect a temperature between 9°C and 0°C. With that, it is not so freezing, you can stay outside and be active! Fortunalty for you, at Ersfjordbotn Brygge, we tailor-made a lot of outdoor activities and vacation homes to rent. With such packages, you don’t need to run from the fjord-side to the city center each morning! Just relax and enjoy yourself with our autumn / winter tours.

After the temperature, we can speak about a second important point here: the light. At the end of July, the Midnight Sun is finished. It means that the sun is going down the horizon line each night sooner and sooner. And then, in November, it will stay under the horizon line 24h per day, until January. This is the Polar Night.

So, if you have good clothes, and if you can manage to be outside, even if it is a low light, we have thousand ideas for you! Let’s see them below and what you have to plan to be amazed by our place.

10 activities to do around Tromsø in Autumn

When you tell about your visit to Northern Norway, for sure, you describe a country of thousand islands and reliefs. The best way to explain a scenery is to put a large part of sky to take a breathe of fresh air, surrounded by high mountains, and some large fjords. Everywhere you are you can experience some activities in nature, mountains or up to the water.

That’s why you can’t be bored here. Between a fjordtour by day in minibus to visit the corner, and by night to chase the northern lights with us, discover below our suggestions.

What to do in norwegian mountains at Kvaløya, our island?

Depending if you are coming early in autumn or not at Kvaløya island, you can’t see the same world! With or without snow, it is completely different. Without, you can hike in wet grounds, like Nåttmalsfjellet, Håtten or Buren. Those 3 mountains are our playgrounds all year long!

So come with our guide up to the summits and discover our berries, our stories and tips & tricks!

When the snow appears we can do the same, with snowshoes and after, with a big amount of snow, we start finally, to do top tour ski…

What to do up to the water of Ersfjorden, our fjord?

Like we rent some Rorbu, you can live also like a fisherman, fishing the Gold of Norway: the cod, but not only. For that, you can go fishing with a guide, to enjoy the best spots, or you can drive on your own a rental boat. You will enjoy our fishing room on the way back, to save properly your fishes!

If you are not fond of fishing but still you want to experience a cruise, we organise also a 2-hours-tour by boat to cruise along our coast until the Norwegian Sea.

Call us and tell us your dreams, we can organize them together!
