Tour Overview

You board the river boat and follow the Alta River from farmland to Alta Canyon, Northern Europe's largest canyon. First we glide past birch and pine forest and small farms. Further up the river narrows, and we travel between steep canyon walls rising up to 400 metres above the water. The boat makes its way safely up the rapids to Steinfossen, known locally as Gabo. It is the furthest point up the river that a boat can reach. As the spray hits your face, your guide tells you about the Alta River's world-famous salmon fishing and the legend of "Gabokjerringa", the guardian of the river. She rewards only those fishermen brave enough to offer her strong spirits.
