International Welcome Program Autumn 2026 | Help protect Fløya with Rissa Science

15 Aug 2026, 13:00 – 17:00 Fjellheisen, Sollivegen 12, 9020 Tromsdalen, Norway Join us for conservation hike with our friends from Rissa Science. Rissa Citizen Science is partnering with researchers from the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and the Norwegian institute for nature research (NINA) to explore possible alternative to "allemansretten" (the "right to roam"), and identify ways to balance public access with the protection of nature. Fjellheisen is facilitating the logistics (there will be a few free tickets for those who are not using the sherpatrappa). What we will do: -Reach Fløya with the cable car (a few tickets provided by Fjellheisen) or Sherpa Trappa. -Observe the effectiveness of measures designed to encourage hikers to stay on the main path, Survey hikers as part of a social science experiment, -Measure trail erosion by recording simple indicators. 🥾Bring snacks, water + clothes adapted to the weather. If rains is forecast, we might cancel the day before. ‼️Limited amount of participants, sign up through link below
