Kvaløysletta: sør

Kvaløysletta is best known in Troms for its location on Kvaløya, the large island immediately west of Tromsø. This residential district lies beside Sandnessundet, the strait separating Kvaløya from Tromsøya, and is linked to the city by the Sandnessund Bridge. Mountainous Kvaløya and the open coastal waters give the area a distinctly Arctic setting, with long summer daylight and dark winter skies. Tromsø’s centre, nearby on Tromsøya, is a major northern Norwegian cultural hub, while the Arctic Cathedral stands across the sound in Tromsdalen.
