Scenic Routes closed during winter 2018/2019

Some of our Norwegian Scenic Route are closed during the winter. Here you can see which routes are open or closed. The table shows statistics for recent years. NOTE: This page does not show updated traffic information in real-time. It is important to note that even though a road has been opened for the summer season, it may still for some time be closed at night.

Hiking opportunities on Senja

Norwegian Scenic Route Senja and the viewpoints along the road are a good place to start when you wish to experience Senja, but to get to know this beautiful wild island properly, we recommend using your own two feet. Even a short hike from the car may lead you to hidden gems. Senja is packed with mountain tops, but each of them will give you a different perspective of the island and the winding coastline.
