Skibotn - Ivgobahta - Yykeänperä

Few settlements in Troms og Finnmark have a history as closely tied to cross-border trade as Skibotn. Set where the Skibotnelva reaches the inner Storfjorden, it lies in a broad valley leading east towards Finland and Sweden, while the Lyngen Alps rise across the fjord. For centuries, routes through this corridor connected coastal communities with inland Sápmi; the annual Skibotn Market, established in 1835, became an important meeting place for Sami, Kven and Norwegian traders. Its roads, river, mountains and fjord still express the practical character of Norway’s northern borderlands. Browse additional webcams from the Storfjord area to extend your view of northern Troms.
