A place born from adventure and belonging
A place born from adventure and belonging
Where every stay becomes an unforgettable experience
Nestled between ocean and mountains on the island of Senja, Yttersia Base is more than a lodge — it’s a vision brought to life by explorer and entrepreneur Markus Bjørkli Jansen, blending outdoor adventure, community, and simple Nordic comfort. Inspired by the raw beauty of Senja in Northern Norway, Yttersia Base was created as a place for travelers, adventurers, and curious souls to connect with nature and themselves.
What started as a personal dream — to bring people closer to the wild landscapes that shaped my own life — has grown into a living hub for experiences, stories, and slow living by the sea.

Yttersia Base was built for those who seek more than comfort — for those who long for connection, discovery, and the feeling of being alive in wild and beautiful surroundings. It’s a home for adventurers, dreamers, and anyone who dares to explore.

Our story begins where the mountains meet the sea
Yttersia Base was born from a dream
Yttersia Base is more than a place to stay — it’s a vision taking shape on the outer edge of Senja. Built between mountains and fjords, it’s a base for explorers, travelers, and dreamers who seek raw nature and real connection. Every path, every peak, and every wave around it tells a story of freedom, simplicity, and belonging.

Honoring the island, embracing the wild
This place is created with deep respect for Senja — for the weather, the silence, and the people who have lived by the sea for generations. Our goal is to bring visitors closer to this landscape — not by changing it, but by letting it speak for itself. We believe in slow travel, local food, and experiences that feel real and rooted.

A new kind of base
Yttersia Base is still being built — but the idea is already alive. It’s a base where strangers become friends, where comfort meets adventure, and where every stay becomes a story worth telling. We invite you to be part of the beginning — to come explore, rest, and reconnect on the outer edge of Norway.
