Bardu is a municipality in the county of Troms, Norway.
The largest town and administrative and political capital is Setermoen.
Norway's largest military garrison is located at Setermoen, the military is the municipality's largest employer and more than 1000 young men perform their duty service here each year.
Bardu has over the years produced several internationally renowned Nordic combined performers. The two most honoured being Fred Børre Lundberg and Bjarte Engen Vik.
Bardu, although not far from the coast, is known for it's cold winters compared to the coastal areas. This is caused by mountains usually blocking the milder, coastal air from reaching the Bardu valley. In summer, however, it is usually warmer than the coastal areas.
