Tromsdalen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tromsdalen is a district in the city of Tromsø, Norway. In English, Tromsdalen means "Troms Valley." It is located on the Norwegian mainland, on the coast of the Tromsøysundet. The Tromsø city centre is on the island of Tromsøya, directly across the sound from Tromsdalen. The Tromsø Bridge connects Tromsdalen to Tromsøya.
Popular attractions in Tromsdalen are the Arctic Cathedral and the aerial tramway (fjellheisen) to the top of a nearby fell; the tramway ends at an elevation of 420 meters. From there, the view is stunning. The mountain known as Tromsdalstinden is located at the eastern end of Tromsdalen and reaches an elevation of more than 1200 m. The climb to the top of this mountain is very popular with the Tromsø residents, since mountain climbing equipment is not needed.
