Fløyfjellet, or Fløya, rises 671 meters above Tromsø, offering breathtaking views of the city, fjords, and surrounding islands. At an elevation of 421 meters, near the café and viewing platform at Storsteinen (reachable via the Fjellheisen cable car), the vantage point captures Tromsø’s stunning Arctic landscapes.
Flying a drone at this spot is particularly exciting but requires precision and adherence to regulations, as it is just within the 5 km restricted zone of Tromsø Airport. The café roof marks the absolute boundary for legal drone operations. From this altitude, the drone reveals sweeping views of Tromsøya, the bridges connecting it to Kvaløya, and the dramatic mountains and fjords beyond. The contrast of urban and natural elements makes this an unparalleled location for drone photography.
