Tjeldsund

Shaped by the Tjeldsundet strait between Hinnøya and the mainland, Tjeldsund has grown into a coastal municipality in southern Troms. The narrow waterway links the Vågsfjorden and Ofotfjorden areas, while mountains, sheltered inlets and scattered settlements give the district its distinctly northern character. The Tjeldsund Bridge, opened in 1967, created a fixed road connection to Hinnøya and remains an important local landmark. Today’s municipality was formed in 2020 through the merger of Tjeldsund and Skånland. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Tjeldsund.
