Just 30 minutes from Tromsø, Ersfjord Viewpoint is a must-visit for anyone exploring Kvaløy Island. The short walk from the parking lot leads you to a dramatic vantage point overlooking Ersfjorden, surrounded by rugged peaks and sparkling waters — a perfect spot for photography, sunset watching, or simply taking in the Arctic scenery.

The viewpoint is also one of the best spots near Tromsø to catch the northern lights in winter. Keep your eyes open: reindeer occasionally wander nearby, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a white-tailed sea eagle soaring overhead.

Extras: Nearby, the cozy café Bryggejentene is ideal for a warm drink or snack after your visit. For those feeling more adventurous, the area is also a starting point for the hike up Nattmålstinden, offering panoramic views over the fjord and surrounding peaks.

Tip: Arrive early for fewer crowds and softer light, or stay until dusk for a chance at northern lights photography. Parking is available on-site, making this viewpoint an easy and rewarding stop for all travelers.
