Hike to Tromsdalstinden 1238 masl.
Hi all!
On sunday the 27th of august, the stage is set for the year's first summit hike with Fjellgruppa, the traditional trip to Tromsdalstinden.
Tromsdalstinden is the beautiful city mountain that can be seen from most places around Tromsø. It rises 1238 meters above sea level and provides a fantastic view of Troms and the beautiful alpine terrain Tromsø is part of.
Attendance will be at exactly 10:50 at the “Gjetersteinen” (big rock) in the end of Tromsdalen (turistveien) We will start excactly at 11.00 because we have to be out of parts of the trail before a uphill run to Tromsdalstinden start a little later.
You can copy and paste the coordinates for the meetingpoint into Google Maps
69.631759, 19.030881
Or
J2JJ+P73 Tromsø
You are wondering how to get to the meeting place?
You will go straight across the city bridge by bus and get off at the Arctic Cathedral. Here you have several options with different walking distances to the meeting place.
1. Route no. 28 towards Solligården and get off at the Tromsdalen bridgehead.
2. Route no. 20 or 24 and get off at the east bridgehead.
From these 2 alternatives, the “turistveien” starts directly on the right side of the church.
Here you have approx. 2.5 km to walk (approx. 41 min walk)
3. Route no. 26 towards Pyramiden (note! changes to 26 towards Giæverbukta at Pyramiden) and get off at Gausdalveien. Then you are on the “turistveien” and have ca. 1.84 km to the meeting point (30 min walk)
REMEMBER!
Bring food/water for the entire trip, as well as good clothes and shoes. We have experienced all 4 seasons on the trip before so come prepared! The trail is technical at points with boulderfields and slippery rocks.
Tempo depends on the group, we will go as a group and at some point on the down hike we will let people go on their own tempo. The fastest will be back at the meetingpoint in 6 hours and those who never been hiking in norwegian arctic mountains have been back 8-9 hours.
The hike is a bit demanding at times, especially if you party hard on saturday night, but it's a challenge that the hardest students can handle, namely you!
The trip is open and free to all students at UiT

Mattis & Lasse and the rest of the team at TSI Fjellgruppa
