Alta

Alta sits at the inner end of Altafjord in northern Norway, where the Alta River enters the fjord below open Arctic uplands. The town is one of northern Norway’s principal centres, with a compact urban core between the coast and the broad interior of Finnmark. Alta is internationally known for the Rock Art of Alta, a UNESCO World Heritage property whose carvings and paintings document prehistoric life in the far north. Many of the best-known panels are protected at Hjemmeluft, near the Alta Museum. Winter brings long dark evenings at this high latitude, while summer is marked by the midnight sun.
