What you'll do
Get yourself to the lower station, a simple 30-minute walk or 10-minute bus drive from the Tromsø city center, and board one of the two gondolas, Seal and Bear. The cable car operates year-round from 9 am until 11:30 pm, and the viewing platform at the top is one of the best places to catch the midnight sun in summer and see the twirling lights of the aurora borealis in winter.
Step into your spacious gondola (each car can carry up to 28 passengers) and enjoy the pristine Norweigan landscape as you ascend 1,378 feet (420 m) in five minutes until you reach the viewing platform at the top of Storsteinen. The mountain offers incredible vantage points where you can gaze out over the city to the fjords and snowcapped peaks beyond. If you're lucky, you might even see paragliders taking off nearby. Spend as much time as you like discovering the views from the summit, and don't miss an opportunity for a warming hot cocoa and cinnamon bun at the nearby Fjellstua Café before making your way back down.

This was a good idea. It's close to the city and gives very good views of the fjord and surrounding mountains. You can watch the paragliders takeoff beside you!
