Storslett Hinterland

Storslett, the gateway to Reisa National Park sits at the southern end of Reisafjorden along the mouth of the river Reisaelva.

Take some time to visit the other towns and villages in the area, and uncover the many layers of history that have formed this remote and resilient region.

The village of Storslett was completely destroyed in 1944 during World War II, at the end of the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany. Since then, the village was completely rebuilt and like many others in the region, has experienced strong growth since the war.

Reisa National Park

Starting out from Storslett, you can explore Reisa National Park, one of Norway's lesser known national parks. If you feel like a break from the motorcycle, you can spend a day or two mountain biking on the endless nature trails around Nordreisa mountain.

The local mountain & ocean guides have a strong depth of knowledge of the region's history and geography, and can tell you much more about the terrain, geology, topography and the history of Sami culture in the region.

Ride or fly in The Lyngen Alps

The Lyngenfjord region includes the Lyngen Alps, Reisa National Park and the island of Skjervøy. On the road to Tromsø, visit the spectacular Lyngen Alps and take some slow time there. Many memorable and sustainable nature experiences are possible here. Go fishing or hiking under the Midnight Sun or Northern Lights, try bungee jumping in spectacular surroundings, or maybe head out on a fjord safari or a river boat trip into Reisa National Park.
