Message from Sølveig Tootly

The Sommarøy Bridge is a cantilever bridge that gracefully links the islands of Kvaløya and Sommarøy in Tromsø Municipality, Norway. Stretching 522 meters with the longest span at 120 meters, it offers a smooth and scenic connection between these stunning Arctic islands.

Whether you’re driving or cycling, the bridge provides beautiful views of the surrounding fjords and mountains. 💡 Tip: Keep an eye on the traffic lights—they can be a little tricky on windy days, which is common in this exposed coastal area.

📸 Bonus: Perfect spot for photos of the turquoise Arctic waters and rugged islands, especially during golden hour or under a pastel Arctic sky.

🧭 Nearby: Use the bridge as a gateway to explore Sommarøy’s beaches, viewpoints, and charming fishing villages—it’s the main artery connecting this scenic road trip loop.
