Bardufoss Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Bardufossen Waterfall which includes rapids
Located in the district of Målselv in the county of Troms, Bardufoss offers beautiful and dramatic arctic vistas, perfect for nature lovers.

Landing at Bardufoss Airport, the first thing that hits you is the striking mountain range and the majestic 1489-metre-high snow-capped peaks of Istinden mountain. It's one of the most famous landmarks in Troms and a popular destination that can be explored by foot and on skis.

Another outstanding natural attraction in the area is the 600-metre-long Målselvfossen, considered to be one of Norway’s best waterfalls. The waterfall is renowned for its large number of salmon and visitors come to the waterfall from far and wide to fish. Målselvfossen also features Europe's longest salmon ladder to help fish navigate through the waterfall.

If you're looking for activities outdoors, then why not visit the Øvre Dividal National Park, located on Norway’s border with Sweden, and home to many great hiking trails and its own snowmobile tracks in winter. It is also home to large carnivores such as bears, lynx, wolves and wolverine. The National Park also has several beautiful fishing areas.

After a lot of outdoor activity, it's also nice to spend some time indoors, so why not take the family to the Polarbadet Water Park. There’s something for the whole family – from a fun water park for the kids to a Thai spa for adults wanting to relax.

There's also no escaping the fact that Bardufoss is steeped in history, and is of great importance for the Norwegian armed forces, and the beautiful Touchpoint Veterans' Monument lies right at its heart. The monument was unveiled by King Harald V of Norway in 2012 to honour Norwegian veterans and their contribution to the country.

For most, the easiest way to get to Bardufoss is to fly into Bardufoss Airport, with direct flights from Oslo three times a day. Bardufoss is also only 2 hours away from Tromsø, where there are great connections to the rest of the country. Visit Bardufoss and let yourself be captivated by the majestic and splendid wonders of nature in the county of Troms.
