1. 1
   Vågnes (North Sámi: Skearronjárga) is a small, traditional coastal village in Tromsø municipality, in northern Norway

   It's an interesting part of the Tromsø region, particularly if you're interested in Norwegian coastal history, nature, fishing communities and rural life. Vågnes is more of a quiet Arctic village than a traditional tourist destination. The things worth seeing are mainly its coastal scenery, mountains, small natural landmarks and the surrounding countryside.

   Skittenelva (also written Skitenelva, North Sámi: Baikajohka) is a river and historic settlement area on the mainland side of Tromsø municipality, near Vågnes and Grøtsundet

   Skittenelva is a lovely area to explore if you enjoy quiet coastal scenery, rivers, old farms and Arctic nature. It isn't a conventional tourist village, but there are several things worth seeing, particularly if you want to discover places that many visitors to Tromsø never get to. This is also the reindeer location where we are going to feed the magnificent animals

   It is an interesting mountain and wilderness area east of Tromsø, between the mainland valleys leading towards Oldervik and Tromsdalen

   The official Norwegian place name is Snarbyeidet, and its North Sámi name is Snárduidvággi. Kartverket also notes that the Sámi name Áddjikmuotki is used for both Snarbydalen and Snarbyeidet. Snarbyeidet is particularly interesting if you enjoy wild mountain scenery, remote lakes, old travel routes and traditional Arctic landscapes. It is not a developed tourist destination; its main attractions are the natural surroundings and the hiking routes leading into the mountains.

   Oldervik

   Oldervik is one of the more interesting small coastal communities in the Tromsø region. Its North Sámi name is Leaibbáš. Situated approximately 40 km northeast of Tromsø, Oldervik lies at the head of Ullsfjorden, where the river Oldervikelva flows into the fjord. It is surrounded by steep mountains, with spectacular views towards the Lyngen Alps. What makes Oldervik particularly interesting is its combination of fishing history, old farms, Sámi heritage and dramatic Arctic scenery.
