Here's your chance to stretch your legs and hike up Mount Komsa — a hike of moderate intensity. Sitting across Bukta Harbor from the cruise ship pier, Mount Komsa is the site where traces of 10,000-year-old human settlements have been found. The finds are mainly kept at the History Museum in Oslo and have given rise to the term Komsa Culture.
Transfer to the foot of Mount Komsa and set out on your guided hike to the summit. The path is a well-trodden nature trail, almost a mile each way. Weather permitting, you will have a spectacular view over central Alta, Altafjord, and your ship at the pier.
Your guide will talk about the nature and history of Mount Komsa and Alta. During a welcome break, coffee or tea and a typical Norwegian snack will be served. Then, descend via the same hiking path and reboard the coach for the short transfer back to the pier.
