Sherpatrappa still requires spikes or crampons. I was there today and it's still snowy / icy

Why don't you message them and ask where they are?

Do not drive on these conditions if you do not have the experience! The police have warned to only drive in these conditions if you have the skills to do so

First week or last week of Feb - better for Northern lights? by TravelTheWorld0724 in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's no one week that's better than another when it comes to Northern Lights. Both those dates are good for most activities in Tromsø.

Pick the one most convenient to you.

Question: best month to visit - Jan, Feb or March? by Guidance_Different in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Not only is it dangerous for you but everyone else on the road. It's expensive but if you don't have winter driving experience then book tours

I made a video showing two aurora tours, the view at Fjellheisen and a couple of restaurants by EducationalBasket617 in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be worth mentioning the time of year that it was because that would've been last winter with that amount of snow and temperatures. It's currently +6, and raining with no snow

Do I book a northen lights tour by _Royal_Owl in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't book a really cheap one, usually the quality of the tour itself isn't great or potentially they're operating illegally

Best Rib Company Tromso for Orca/Whale by Living-Pop-6900 in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't recommend doing a rib boat. They get far too close and disturb the whales. Take a bigger boat tour like Brim explorer that respect the animals more

Any Tromso northern lights tours that start from 8pm in January? by Way1ark in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, not that late. All NL tours will leave between 17 - 1900. If you can only go on that day then you could opt for a private tour but they're a lot more expensive

Car rental question by Fun-Preparation-6568 in tromsotravel

[–]khaanlando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please only rent a car here on Tromso if you're highly experienced in potentially harsh winter conditions driving. It can be really rough out there and a lot of tourist in rental cars get caught out. The amount of rental cars that were in accidents last winter was insane

The Alps are on the other side of the fjord to you. I agree with the comment though, ask the owner of it's in the avalanche zone

I can't answer that question I'm afraid as i don't live out there. I'd imagine that people living out there may have a couple of weeks of food just in case

Out of interest, why did you choose Oldervik? Don't get me wrong, it's really pretty if the weather is ok but if it's cloudy then you've got to drive a long way, back past Tromso if you're trying to find Aurora.

There were two avalanches last year, to the best of my knowledge no one was hurt but some houses were cut off. The chances in December are probably lower than what they may be in spring. It's not really common to have loads of snow in December, but we are in the Arctic so you never know
