Its powerful cascades create a mesmerizing spectacle, as water flows gracefully over rugged rocks, harmonizing with the surrounding nature. Alta's outdoor life is a fusion of traditional practices and contemporary pursuits. Locals in Finnmark have long embraced the bounties of nature, engaging in activities such as hunting, fishing, and berry and mushroom picking. In recent years, the allure of activity-oriented outdoor life has grown, becoming an integral part of everyday existence. So lace up your hiking boots, breathe in the crisp forest air, and let the midnight sun guide your footsteps as you explore the captivating wilderness of Alta.

Along the 2km long trail you will get to breath in the crisp forrest air and maybe experience wildlife also. After around 1,5 hour we will reach the waterfall, a magnificent conductor, orchestrating its dance over the ancient rocks. On the riverbank we will enjoy a short rest with coffee, tea and snacks.
