Holiday home with a view by the Balsfjord south of Tromsø. Scenic surroundings and a great place for winter experiences with the northern lights and ski trips.

TV with Norwegian channels and free internet with large capacity. Heat pump and wood-burning stove in the living room, which provides good and comfortable heat on cold winter days. From the house and the terrace there is a magnificent view of the beautiful fjord landscape. In winter, the northern lights dancing in all colors in the sky are a beautiful sight, while the bright nights in spring and summer are a wonderful experience. The area is quiet and child-friendly with long shallow beaches along the fjord. There is a rich bird life here, especially in the spring when all the migratory birds arrive. There are fishing opportunities in the fjord. A good starting point for day trips by car to the Arctic city of Tromsø with many sights and to the Polar Zoo where animals such as bears, wolves, reindeer, lynx etc. can be experienced up close.

A 13-foot boat with an electric motor is moored at the fjord, 100 m from the house, and can be rented. Due to the shallow shoreline, the boat cannot be used at low tide.
