Nordreisa
Nordreisa is Troms’s canyon-carved Arctic basin — a municipality where salmon leap through pine-shadowed rivers, huskies race under northern lights, and twin silver fish gleam on the coat of arms. With around 4,800 residents and a landscape shaped by the Reisaelva River, Reisadalen valley, and the villages of Storslett, Sørkjosen, and Rotsund, Nordreisa is the kind of place where you can hike past waterfalls, paddle into national parks, and still catch a dog sled beside a Sami heritage trail. It’s got wilderness, waterfalls, and a name that simply means “northern Reisa.”

Getting There
Nordreisa lies along the E6 highway, with Sørkjosen Airport offering flights to Tromsø and Finnmark. Buses serve Storslett, Oksfjordhamn, and Rotsund. The area is best explored by boots, boat, or bold curiosity — especially if you’re chasing canyon echoes, salmon lore, or the hush of birch leaves beside a waterfall trail.
