Sørreisa
Sørreisa is Troms’s fjord-framed cultural basin — a municipality where huskies dash through snowy forests, waterfalls tumble through pine valleys, and three golden stars gleam on the coat of arms. With around 3,400 residents and a landscape shaped by the Reisafjorden, Skøelvdalen, and the villages of Sørreisa, Skøelva, and Grunnreisa, Sørreisa is the kind of place where you can hike past WWII tunnels, explore stave churches, and still sip spruce tea beside a sculpture gallery. It’s got stars, sleds, and a name that simply means “southern Reisa.”

Getting There
Sørreisa lies in Midt-Troms, just east of Senja Island, with road access via the E6 and proximity to Bardufoss Airport. The area is best explored by boots, sled, or bold curiosity — especially if you’re chasing star echoes, husky lore, or the hush of pine needles beside a waterfall trail.
