Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the enchanting forests of Alta, where the allure of outdoor life in Finnmark awaits. As you set foot on the trail leading to Orvvosfossen, be prepared to be captivated by the natural wonders that surround you. The trail meanders through a rich tapestry of trees, offering a glimpse of the untouched beauty of this forested realm. Following this path for approximately 2 km, you will find yourself standing before the magnificent Orvvosfossen waterfall. 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. You will start your adventure with a 30 min drive up to our historical Gargia Lodge. From the lodge we will embark on an adventure into the Gargia forrest. 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.
