Ersfjordbotn is a small village on Kvaløya, about 20 minutes from Tromsø airport, sitting on an isthmus between Ersfjorden and Kaldfjorden. The fjord is narrow, squeezed between steep granite walls, and it is the classic Kvaløya postcard.
On the road into the village there is a viewpoint, Ersfjord Utsiktspunkt, where you can see the fjord from above. Then drive down to the water for a closer look. The village has a small beach with wooden boat houses.
This is one of the most popular northern lights viewing spots near Tromsø. The steep mountains block some light pollution from the city, and the fjord creates a natural frame for aurora photography. Tour operators bring groups here on clear winter nights.
A good first stop on a Kvaløya loop drive.
