Tromsø · Norway
Skihytta
Ski lodge above the city's homes, with streetlights nearby. Most of the city's glow is to the south, so the northern sky is a little darker. Bus stop and parking at Ekrehagen.

Before you go
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Norway before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
