Where to stay in Storslett
Most beds in Storslett gather in the small town centre, where the rooms and guest houses stand close to the main road, the services and the streets near Nordreisa kirke, within reach of the valley floor and the church that marks the heart of the town. The centre suits travellers who want the town and the valley road on the doorstep. It is the practical base.
Toward the Nord-Troms Museum and the country around it, quieter rooms serve visitors drawn to the regional collection and the heritage of the far north-east. Beds are few here. Across the wider Nordreisa district, holiday houses and farm stays spread through the valley, a base for travellers touring the inland and coastal reaches of the north-eastern part of Troms by car.
Reserve well ahead in the bright summer months, when the long northern daylight and the valley draw visitors to this far corner of northern Norway.
