The tour starts with a 30-minute drive from Alta to Gargia Lodge. From there you follow a trail through the Gargia forest to Orvvosfossen, about 2 km each way over easy terrain. The walk to the waterfall takes 1 to 1.5 hours. With luck, you may see wildlife on the way. On the riverbank we stop for coffee, toddy and snacks. People in Finnmark have lived off hunting, fishing and berry picking for generations, and outdoor life is part of everyday routine. Here you get a taste of it. In midsummer, the midnight sun lights up the forest. Good to know Season: June to October. Suits families with children, groups of friends and company groups. The walk is calm and easy.

Vahva suositus paikalle ihan jo pelkästään henkilökunnan ystävällisyyden vuoksi.
Идеально! Место просто великолепное. Дом под горой. Тишина. Кухня прекрасна. Каждый день новое меню, но необольщайтесь гурманы, готовится одно блюдо и подаётся всем. Цена для Норвегии не кусается. Персонал приветливый. По возможности помогут. Самое главное в номере нет телевизора!
Great place, we come back again
