Troms

We will chase in the Troms region. Depending on the weather, and weather forecast we will travel out from the city. Some evenings we will be staying around the coast. Other evenings we will go towards inland. We have private camp locations all around the region, and we will sometimes use them, so we can stay at a private location instead of a shared parking lot with many other companies. These private locations also have toilets, which we can use.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.
