Bardufoss (BDU): the town is two minutes away, Finnsnes is the actual trip

The centre of Bardufoss is a two minute drive from the terminal. The airport bus exists mainly to run to Finnsnes on the coast.

  • The town centre is 2 minutes away. That is Avinor's own figure and it is not a typo.
  • The airport bus runs to Finnsnes, which is the journey it is actually built for.
  • Price and timetable information is published under Flybuss.
  • Finnsnes is the ferry town for Senja, so this is the route most arrivals want.
  • The airport is in Malselv municipality, in inner Troms.
  • Bardufoss is a military air station as well as a civil airport, which is why it exists at all in a valley this thinly populated.
  • For the town itself, walking or a two minute taxi is the whole problem.
  • Norwegian taxi fares are deregulated, so ask for the price before you set off.

The town is right there

  • Avinor gives the travel time to the town centre as two minutes. Bardufoss is a small place and the airport is on its edge.
  • For the town itself, then, transport is barely a question.

The bus that matters

  • The airport bus runs to Finnsnes. That is the journey the service exists for.
  • Finnsnes is the gateway to Senja, the island that most visitors flying into Bardufoss are heading for, and it is where the road and ferry connections are.
  • Price and timetable information is published under Flybuss.

Where this is

  • Bardufoss is in Malselv, in inner Troms, in the Malselv valley.
  • It is a joint civil and military field. The air station is the reason there is a runway of this size in a valley with this population.
  • Tromso is about two and a half hours north by road, and Narvik about the same to the south.

Taxi

  • Norwegian taxi prices are set by the operator rather than a regulated meter, and the driver must tell you the price before the trip starts.
