Guide to Tromsø — Your Arctic Aurora Companion Built locally in Tromsø by professional aurora guides who track these skies every single night — not a generic weather app, but a tool made by people who chase the northern lights for a living. Whether you’re planning your trip or already here, Guide to Tromsø gives you everything you need to catch the aurora and make the most of your stay in Northern Norway. ONE PRICE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Pay once and everything is yours — every feature, every update. No monthly fees, no paywalls, no premium tier, and no annoying upsells. REAL-TIME AURORA TRACKING Live Kp-index, Bz (interplanetary magnetic field), solar wind speed, and cloud cover — the same data our guides use to decide where to take guests each night. Get alerts the moment conditions start looking promising. CLOUD COVER MAP See where the sky is clear right now and over the next few hours, based on high-resolution forecasts from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute — so you know which way to drive. LIVE SKY See where the northern lights are being spotted right now, shared by guides and fellow aurora hunters across the region. Each photo can show which direction it was taken and how clear the sky was, and you can get a notification when someone nearby shares a new one. No photo? Anyone can report the cloud cover where they are, so you can find the gaps in the clouds on nights with tricky weather. CURATED LOCATIONS The best aurora viewing spots our guides have used for years, plus restaurants and places to visit in Tromsø — handpicked by locals, not generated by an algorithm.
