Can you get a better view of Tromsø and the surrounding area?
I grew up in Northern Norway, and every time I return back home I go hiking. There are so many great hikes up there, and Bensjordtinden is a scenic hike overlooking the Tromsø region. These mountains are right behind the house where I grew up. I have always loved the hike to Bakarovnstinden. The hike is not too hard, even though you are gaining a little bit of elevation, and the ridge is nice as well. Until you get closer to the summit where you are better off following the marked path, which some hikers are not comfortable with. Another option is to hike into Bakarovnen, and then up. Or you could hike Kvitfjellet first, and then hike to Bakarovnstinden from there. There are many options.
So that was a few words about Bakarovnstiden, what about Middagstinden?
I have only been to Middagstinden once. I hiked the ridge from Bakarovnstinden to Middagstinden, and this is not something I will recommend. You are better off hiking in the valley bellow and make you way up that way. This would be the route that starts at the Chapel as well.
And the view. Words are not enough, my video will speak for itself. Feel free to check out my video to see what the view is like. My hike to Bakarovnstinden and Middagstinden starts at 0 minutes and 40 seconds into the video. And if you have any questions about the hike then I would be happy to answer.
