How to get to Tromsø Alpinpark

By bus from the city centre

The easiest option is bus 24 towards Skjelnan. It leaves from Kystens hus in the city centre and takes 16 to 17 minutes to the Kroken sykehjem stop. From there it is about eight minutes on foot to the slopes. Bus 24 also stops at Jadevegen, close by.

Bus 20 towards Kroken works well too. It runs to Malmvegen snuplass in just over 20 minutes, and from there it is also about eight minutes on foot.

To get back, take bus 24 signed «Tromsø lufthavn via sentrum». In the evening it runs every half hour, also after the slopes close.

Three stops close by

Kroken sykehjem is the nearest stop on bus 24, and Jadevegen is right next to it. Malmvegen snuplass is on bus 20. Search for one of them in the journey planner and you get both departures and the walking route. From all three you walk the last stretch through the houses up to the slopes.

Tickets and timetables

The city buses in Tromsø are run by Svipper. Buy your ticket in the Svipper app, from a ticket machine or with a bank card on board. Cash is not accepted. The app shows departures in real time, so you can stay indoors until the bus is close.

Straight from the airport

If you land in Tromsø and want to go straight to the slopes, bus 24 runs directly from Tromsø Airport to Kroken sykehjem. The ride takes about 45 minutes. Skis, boots and a helmet can all be rented here, so there is no need to bring your own.

By taxi

Tromsø has several taxi companies, and at the airport the taxi rank is to the left outside the arrivals hall. Ask for Tromsø Alpinpark, Jadevegen 129, 9022 Krokelvdalen. A taxi makes sense when you are a group, or when you plan to ski until closing and want to go straight back to your hotel.

By car

The drive from the city centre takes about ten minutes. Enter Jadevegen 129, 9022 Krokelvdalen in your map app, or use the directions in Google Maps. There is parking at the resort. Roads can be slippery in winter, so allow a little extra time after fresh snow.

From the bus stop to the slopes

Pavements can be icy, and ice grips on your shoes make the walk from the bus stop safer. Put on your warm layers before you get on the bus. Our guide to what to wear skiing in Tromsø has the details.

Before you leave

• Check lifts and slopes and the opening hours on the day.
• Buy your lift pass online and walk straight onto the slope.
• Taking a lesson? Book it in advance and arrive a little early so there is time for the rental shop.
