Breathtaking scenery and a wonderful host. So peaceful and serene. If you’re lucky, you get to see the Northern Lights like we did in December 2024. Highly recommended to be in your bucket list.

wow nice and beautiful... very relaxing place... i want to come back soon

Fantastic place in the heart of the mountains😊awesome view and location!

Beautiful views, amazing surroundings and a pleasant host. Recommended

Wow very nice!

Great!

Very nice 😍

So many german reviews so i write one in english - not my first language so please be kind. Now the actual review: That was absolutly awesome! We pre booked another Tour from another company but it got cancelled on us last minute because of the autum rain. So we decided to book one day before having this Tour and cakled about cancelation but they were like: we don't cancel unless there is a hazard warnung. Eventhough it was raining cats and dogs it was an absolute Highlight of our Trip! They Provide you with warerproof Equipment, so don't worry about a thing. The dogs want to run and are super friendly, as well are the owners. We had such a great time and hope to return in Winter with snow :)

Completely exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our trip to Tromso! The whole service; from the explanations, conversation, extra clothing, teas and coffees after the sledding was absolutely perfect! I really enjoyed how you could ride yourself and it wasn’t just on flat ground, you were going up and down hills as well. Such an adventure, I will carry this memory with me for the rest of my life! Everyone in the family is so lovely also.

We had such a great time on this tour. It's a small norwegean family business tucked away in the mountains. So no tourist trap. Even though it snowed a lot we could drive the sled for one hour. What an amazing feeling being out there with these lovely dogs and driving the sled by yourself. Uphill you need to help them a bit so you need to have a little bit of fitness. The mountains around, just stunning. I can recommend it to anyone!!! It's an experience you'll never forget in your life.

Fantastic experience, authentic and beautiful location. Tomas and team keep it simple and make it memorable. The dogs are the stars of the show! Don’t forget to take a lunch and wear comfortable clothing - but good quality oversuits are provided. This is a small family business and well worth supporting - they’re the best!

Fantastic! Exceeded all expectations. The team was great and we learned a lot about the sport. Everything was well prepared and ready to go before we arrived. They had additional clothes and provided warm drinks for after the sledding. The dogs are super friendly and well cared for. Would definitely return to do this again!

Northern Light Dog Adventure does an exceptionally well dogsledding experience. These guys take pride in providing a small group experience and when we went it was just my wife and I which was great because they were able to personalize the experience to suite us. We took the sleds through all types of different, beautiful and challenging terrain and even took us to create new trails! The dogs seem very well taken care of too. If you enjoy the "real" experience, small groups and don't enjoy the large tourist traps this is the place for you.

This is a must visit place if you in the area. Thomas and his furry children made the ride smooth and worry free. Amazing views. Everything is well organized, instructions given were clear. Just use common sense, natural balance, control the speed and enjoy the ride.

The ice climbing trip is just a fantastic experience and a must if you are visiting the area. I have done this previously and will be happy to do it again. A big thank you to Ulla and Mikal because you made this a very enjoyable and memorable day last Sunday. Your expertise gave me the confidence and reassurance in the climb. Also a big thank you to Jem for the tour on the snowmobile. Unfortunately the warm weather made the conditions not ideal but It was still a great day from start to finish. All of the activities that I have done have been first class but it is the people at Lyngen Adventure that make it so much more. You guys are the biz.

We booked the ice climbing experience just after New year's and had an incredible outing. At the office in Lyngseidet we were fitted with the necessary equipment and then our group of five was driven to a trailhead where we started our access to the frozen waterfall. The two guides set up topropes (safest way of climbing, no risk of a fall) and then we took turns up the ice. We started in arctic winter dusk/dawn and climbed into the dark before we retreated into a Lavvu (traditional Sami tent) for a fire, soup and traditional local snacks on reindeer hides. The guys not only took care of our safety but gave a lot of insights into the local flora, fauna, culture and other topics of interest. All in all a wonderful trip that we can recommend to any outdoorsy traveller in the Lyngen Alps. The program offered by Lyngen Adventure far exceeded our expectations.

Simply the most fun, great guides, fantastic weather, beautiful scenery

A good experience. A little bit of a conveyor belt as with all of these trips though

(Translated by Google) Went with Lyngen Adventure on a RIB trip from Lyngseidet and out to the Lyngenfjord during the summer holidays. Really recommended! As a local, I wasn't even aware of how beautiful the Lyng Alps were from the sea, really gave the impression of powerful nature. Our guide Mads did a fantastic job! (Original) Dro med Lyngen Adventure på RIB tur fra Lyngseidet og ut Lyngenfjorden under sommerferien. Anbefales virkelig! Som lokal var jeg ikke engang selv klar over hvor vakker Lyngsalpene var fra havet, ga virkelig inntrykk av mektig natur. Guiden vår Mads gjorde en kanonbra jobb!

(Translated by Google) Thank you Ulla and Edda for taking me to experience ice climbing. This is indeed an activity that challenges myself and exercises my willpower. It gives me great experiences and memories! Takk for turen! (Original) 謝謝Ulla和Edda帶我體驗冰攀，這確實是一個挑戰自我和鍛練意志力的活動，讓我有非常棒的經驗和回憶！Takk for turen！

(Translated by Google) Very nice. Alright (Original) Very Nice. Très bien

My husband loves whisky and I booked the tour and lunch as part of a birthday surprise for him. The guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and it was such an interesting tour or what is a pretty unique experience in Norway. The whisky is actually made with glacial water and smells and tastes so beautiful. They also make gin and the Norwegian traditional drink Aquavit. We also stayed at their cabins which I cannot recommend enough.

We had an amazing visit with a small group! They do everything with passion, products are tasty, and food at dinner was excellent and local! Small cabins were with beautiful few to the sea and breakfast was really nice! High recommendation for everyone to visit!

I had been looking forward to this distillery tour for months, and it did not disappoint! Every aspect of Aurora Spirit is phenomenal. The atmosphere, the passion in the employees, the spirits themselves - everything exceeded expectations. I hope to make it back one day!

A brilliant whiskey tour led by Ada, who was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. Interesting to learn about the workings behind whiskey distillery. Lunch after the tasting was delicious and enjoyed taking in the views from the bar.

Wonderful visit. Thank you very much. Nice & friendly staff. Good tastings with Gin, Whisky and Aquavit. Interesting tour whith a lot of information.

The most northern distillery in the world, and they make delicious whisky you can't get from anywhere else in the world than here. Take the tour, it's really informative and you get a tasting of their finest spirits!

Fun wisky destilery tur! Highly recommended. The staf was nice and knowledgeable. We also booked a cabin so non of us had to drive home :) The region is gorgeous so we had a really nice time.

We really enjoyed the dog sledding trip. We loved the fact that we were our own small group and we could not only ride the dogs, but also harness them ourselves and pet them. It was snowing and it was just magical in the woods! Tommy told us a lot about the dogs and the living in Norway. It was a very entertaining and heartwarming evening!🐕‍🦺🥰

Incredible day out with the dogs. Tommy is a great guide who clearly loves his dogs dearly. We took a half day as it hadn't snowed, and it was the experience of a lifetime! Tommy also let us walk some dogs and took us for a sunset tea while he told us stories of dog sledding and answered all our questions. It was a highlight of our trip! Definitely worth every penny

Amazing Journey on saturday with Tommy et dogs ....So simple and warming welcome ...preparing the dog ,contact with them and Tommy is very easy to speak about all his wonderworld ...The snow was here, very early for the season and so fresh ...the dogs were happy for this first snow and us too ...all was very magical ...tanks for this enchanted parenthèses. A real passion for Tommy not a commercial business, that makes us à different experience. Thank you Tommy

This was one of the highlights of our trip, Tommy is passionate about what he does, the dogs are incredibly well taken care of, and the experience was top notch. It was very fun to learn how to mush, pet the dogs and hear Tommy’s stories.

Absolutely fantastic - couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. We did the half day and it was SO fun. Tommy is brilliant and so knowledgeable (ask him about his dog sledding races!!). This is so special because you get to harness the dogs, learn all about the sled and drive them yourself. There’s the option to sit on Tommy’s sled for the circuits if the driving makes you nervous. The dogs are SO fun and friendly and fast!

Incredible experience with Tommy as the guide. The dogs are well looked after and a part of the family. The sledding was fantastic and Tommy was very informative about the sport and the way of life in Norway. I highly recommend this tour, don't go wasting your money with the larger companies and book direct with the super Team Lyngen

Just do this! We had a perfect afternoon with Tommy and the dogs. The day turned into the highlight of our trip. Tommy educated the group on care of the dogs, race culture, and ensured everyone was comfortable and had fun driving the scenic landscape. It helped that was also had a gorgeous day with fresh snowfall. We would absolutely do this again (and would love to take our teens next time). Highly recommend!

Also offers study room (shared) and WI-FI, for free. Managed by Library staff.

Very creative museum, friendly crew and informative history about the people. Enjoyed it!

(Translated by Google) The staff is incredibly nice. Extremely helpful and accommodating. The landscape exhibition is lovingly designed, but there's a lot to read and little to do. If you struggle with English, it's of little use. The cultural exhibition is incredibly short and has even fewer exhibits and information. Great for a rainy day, but you don't need to go in specifically. (Original) Das Personal ist wahnsinnig nett. Extrem hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Die Ausstellung über die Landschaft ist liebevoll gestaltet, aber es gibt sehr viel zu lesen und wenig zu machen. Wenn man sich mit Englisch schwer tut, bringt es sehr wenig. Die Kulturausstellung ist denkbar kurz und hat noch weniger Exponate und Informationen. Für einen verregneten Tag sehr gut, aber extra rein muss man nicht.

funny! coming to Havøysund we expected to be having some bland rustic stew knocked up by some bored chef... instead we ended up fine dining! extremely fancy, pretentious (...and pricey). My husband and i travelled the world, but this was by far the best cerviche we've ever had. To the Danish chef: We salute you! Unfortunately they were out of Sami craft beer... and it seems every new customer coming in asked for the same, so maybe you want to re-think the amount you order

Extraordinary view if good weather.

Nice views and nice food.

Fine dining at the end of the world...

An exceptional place to watch the Arctic sea. And lots of space around to feel the wind and the sunshine. A better place than North Cape, because not so terribly crowded...

Delicious food, and an outstanding view

Fantastic scenery, experience of the lifetime.

I noticed that there was a UNESCO site here, but really had no idea what it was all about. after a bit of research, it appears that the Struve Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, traversing 10 countries and over 2,820 km. These survey points were carried out from 1816-1855 by astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve. They represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian which helped to establish the exact size and shape of the planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. The 'monument' itself then is a placeholder for a survey point and represents this mathematical and engineering historical event.

This point is historical and interest to see. But be careful, if Hurtigruten arrives same time and lot of travelers comes to see this. Then it is difficult to take pictures etc.. Generally Hammerfest is nice north place, where most of places are easy to reach by walking. But route between Skaidi - Hammerfest have lot constructions in summer 2024. Next summer can be better to drive there.

Excellent interpretation, great view, and a must-see for those interested in history and/or mapping.

Interesting place. Very nice to see one piece of the big puzzle and the achievement different cultures can achieve together.

A fine historical attraction. Just the right amount of information about the Struve Geodetic Arc. And a beautiful view of the world’s second largest rock, Håja.

Great walk from the town center. The area was really nice and there is English information about the Arc and area. There are also reindeer 🦌

For my quick 3 minute visit, albeit a bit dark, it was an interesting sight. Considering it's importance to world scaling, it's worth the visit I'd you are close by.

A beautiful and special church, often overlooked due to its remoteness from the cruise port. Inside it's unusually and colourfully designed, and offers a sense of peace and calm.

Quite the tourist attraction for our cruise ship and easily visible on the sail in. Beautiful interior in this modern Kirke.

Beautiful and modern church

Lovely church, very welcoming

For those who appreciate modern churches, this one is really beautiful.

This is the land mark in Hammerfest. It is a nice place, well worth a visit.

Although modern it is beautiful and has many interesting glass features including an attractive window.

One of the best small museums in Norway. The exhibit is about the reconstruction time after WW2 Make sure you go to the 4 th floor for the view

Very interesting museum, dealing largely with what happened in Northern Norway during WW2, and how it was rebuilt afterwards. I could have spent longer there if I'd had the time. The view over the town of Hammerfest from the 4th floor of the tower is well worth it. Tickets were very reasonable in price also.

The main exhibition was very interesting, exhibits have info in Norwegian and English, and we heard a guide giving a talk in German and English. Lots of photos, plus other exhibits (clothing, furniture etc) and mock-ups of rooms in a standard post-war house. Cafe also good; basic coffee and cakes. There were a couple of other rooms with text only in Norwegian, and a viewing tower which offers good views of the town and surrounds.

Unexpectedly interesting, with the bonus that you get to go to the tower and have a great 360 view of the town. I am very happy I visited it and highly recommend it!

Absolutely fantastic museum showing one of the not so well known aspects of WW2 - the "scorched earth" burning of entire towns along the Norwegian coast by the retreating Germans, and the massive reconstruction that was necessary after the war ended.

An amazing display of occupation and evacuation hardships in northern Norway in WWII. Everything was burned in the later part of the wat, when German army was retreating. Then followed the Reconstruction, the building of 10,000 or so new homes to bring people back. These were used to 'norwegianise' Finnmark by introducing uniform dwellings, but also brought new designs in furniture and homewares which became popular far beyond the region. Area around this museum in Hammerfest is full of Reconstruction homes and has a protected architectural status

A very important and well done museum explaining an important time of norwegian history. Very moving. Highly recommended.

Includes the Polar Society. Interesting and worth some time.

People are helpful so it's OK ;)

Ok

Helpfull

Super service

Ok

(Translated by Google) In the area of "The Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society," there's absolutely no one to help you. We went there with the intention of becoming members, but the tablets weren't working and no one was there, so 400KON less for the bears. At the tourist office, we were lucky enough to be served by the least clever and least intelligent guy on the planet. It's not worth transcribing the conversation here, but because of him, they gave me a huge fine. Due to scheduling and transportation issues, we could only pay by bank transfer, and adding expenses and everything else they can invent, it doubled. Thanks for nothing, smart guy. (Original) En la zona de “The Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society” no hay absolutamente nadie que te atienda, íbamos con la intención de hacernos socios pero las tablets no funcionaban y no había nadie, así que 400KON menos para los osos. La oficina de turismo, hemos tenido la suerte de que nos atienda el chico menos espabilado y con menos chispa del planeta. No merece la pena transcribís aquí la conversación, pero por su culpa me han puesto una pedazo multa, que por tema de horarios y transportes solo podíamos abonar con transferencia y sumando gastos y todo lo que se puedan inventar se ha duplicado. Gracias por nada, espabilado

It's a pleasant place to learn about polar bears and the town's brief history. While not large, it's a worthwhile visit, conveniently located in town. The stuffed polar bear makes for a nice photo opportunity, and there's even a souvenir shop if you'd like to purchase some items during your stay in Hammerfest.

Good wee museum. I wouldn’t bother with the rip off society fee…unless that is why you visited. Lots of exhibits and history for a small place. Don’t stroke the polar bear! Gift shop too. One of the best things to do in Hammerfest on a rainy day. Wander around the back of Hammerfest near a lake for wild reindeer.

It's a very small (but free) museum with some interesting historical items and pictures. But it looks like most people come for the kitschy membership to the Society (that's what we and the next 5 people after us came for) that gives you a certificate, a sticker and a small polar bear pin. Docked one star because it used to be about $20, which seemed reasonable for something kind of touristy but fun, but it's now double that (402 NOK), which feels right on the edge of tourist rip off.

The organization was founded since 1963. You will see the history and artic animal.

Small place. Just 2 rooms. Showcases arctic animals and hunting equipment used. This was how they survived I that harsh environment before modern times. They also have a nice souvenir shop attached.

What a fun little idea, the membership. Sure, it is a gimmick, but it is super cute and simply a must when you visit Hammerfest! The museum is interesting and the gift shop very good. A recommended attraction for sure!

If you are in town it is worth a visit. They have a well displayed collection of interesting animals and artifacts. Free entry is a bonus. Kids will enjoy seeing this place too.

Please do yourself a favor and don't even attempt to go there during winter.

A Breathtaking (Literally!) Hike! Okay, prepare yourselves, because the walk up to Bubbelen source in Langfjordbotn is breathtaking in every sense of the word! The path up is short – only about 650 meters one way – but it's a total leg-burner. We're talking an inclination of roughly 14%! This means it's challenging but totally doable! Just make sure to wear very good shoes, especially if it's been raining – otherwise, descending might feel like an unplanned slip-and-slide. If your knees are already protesting or your fitness routine involves mostly Netflix, you might want to skip this hike. That said, the views during the walk and at the top are magnificent! And the source itself? Wow! The sheer power of the water bursting into such a pristine forest is absolutely enchanting. It's a sight you won't forget. I highly recommend visiting Bubbelen, but please, bring proper gear (and maybe some mosquito repellent!). Also, there are no trash bins, so whatever you bring in (empty snack wrappers, your pride after that climb), please take it back out! Let's keep this beautiful trail clean for everyone.

Saat to get there. Nice spot

Fun little hike up. It is nice to see the water bubble. Wouldn't make a huge detour for it, but if you are in the neighborhood anyway definitely visit. I was alone there.

Amazing views and hike.

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is quite large, with room for about 10 cars. A steep but short climb is worthwhile given the current snowmelt. A lot of water shoots out of the mountain. Unfortunately, the waterfall isn't visible—you'd need a drone for some great shots. (Original) Parkplatz recht groß, etwa Platz für 10 Autos. Steiler, aber kurzer Anstieg, der sich bei der aktuellen Schneeschmelze lohnt. Es kommt viel Wasser aus dem Berg geschossen. Den dazugehörigen Wasserfall sieht man leider nicht - hier bräuchte man eine Drohne für sicherlich tolle Shots

(Translated by Google) From the parking lot, there's a short, steep climb to the spot where the water gushes powerfully from the rock. From the path, you can look back at Bognelv. (Original) Vom Parkplatz geht ein kurzer steiler Aufstieg zu der Stelle, wo das Wasser mit viel Kraft aus dem Felsen quillt. Vom Weg aus kann man auf Bognelv zurückblicken.

A nice view and the bridge was big and sturdy. If you don't want to hike from all the way down, there is a road that takes you almost all the way, only a small hike of 1.8 km if you drive to the end. The road is a bit steep and challenging, with sheep walking/sleeping along the way.

Easy walk. Good path with hardly any elevation change. I wouldn't recommend going with a stroller though because there are some rocks on the path. You can do it if your stroller has big wheels but it will be unpleasant. The parking costs about 170NOK or 15EUR per day on the Easypark app.

Loved it! Breathtaking view. I had seen a lot of pictures before visiting, but it did not prepare me for it. It cannot be captured in an image! Short, easy hike to the bridge. Don't forget to pay for parking. The road to the last parking is rocky, drive carefully.

Beautiful place. Road is awful and bumpy but it's kinda private road so you have to understand. Watch out for lambs. No chance to get up there with camper or caravan, but there's parking spot down at valley.

Incredible view! Quite easy trail to the waterfalls. Be aware of bad ground road to the trails.

Nice hiking trail by beautiful Kåfjord valley

Very nice view

What an absolute gem of a place! A stunning location for bungee jumping. Everything ran by super friendly and professional individuals. Oh, and do not hesitate to straight away book the second jump. The first one is such a great experience already. The second one - backflip - incredible and 1000% of pure awesomeness!

Great experience and very professional staffs

Absolutely awesome experience. We visited the place outside the bungee jump hours, so there wasn't that many people around. If you're not into jumping, I recommend visiting some other day when there isn't jumpers around as you can enjoy the views from the bridge in peace. Walk to the bridge is filled with nice views and there is also a fireplace with seats in some point of the trail. Highly recommended! PS. People with fear of heights might feel some anxiety on the bridge as the canyon is really deep :)

Great place to see 150 metres water fall.

Visited the bridge today, stunning place.

It was amazing!!

(Translated by Google) My first ever bungee jump, and what a place! This extraordinary experience, which is accessed after a 30-minute walk that helps us immerse ourselves in the surroundings, is highly recommended. The access road requires a more off-road vehicle; otherwise, drive very slowly. (Original) Pierwszy w życiu skok na bungee i to w jakim miejscu! Niecodzienne przeżycie, do którego prowadzi 30 minutowy spacer, pomagający nam wczuć się w klimat otoczenia, polecam wszystkim. Droga dojazdowa wymaga pojazdu o bardziej terenowym przeznaczeniu, w innym przypadku należy jechać bardzo wolno.

We had a very informative and interesting visit to the Tirpitz Museum. Even, the owner and curator of the museum, was very passionate in sharing information, explaining details and history to us; he even delayed his closing time by an hour to entertain our questions! We are very impressed by the quality of exhibits, documentary and descriptions provided in the museum, and would definitely recommend anyone, especially WWII history buffs, to come and visit.

Tiny little museum stuffed with history of time around WWII. Nice cinema room to watch a 28 min documentary about Tirpitz. Ticket 120 NOK or combo ticket incl. Alta museum for 220 NOK.

Super interesting museum with tons of bits and bobs. I especially liked the 30 min documentary they show. They have a coffee machine where you can buy coffee. Not a lot of parking.

Just loved the presentation. Loads of information and detailed models.

Good museum. I did see the big cannon that shot down blücher, cool experience, really recommend👍

Very good little museum with a lot of relevant items and stories. Also there is a small cinema to watch a documentary about the several attempts to sink the ship.

Visited as part of an organised cruise tour so not exactly sure of its opening hours. If you have an interest then it is definitely worth a visit. Not to far from the area Tirpitz was anchored.

The open air concept of the museum is fantastic. This is a must visit especially in the snow-free periods, as you can walk along rock carvings from thousands of years ago. The pathes are prepared very nicely and are easy to walk.

Excellent small museum about the history of the area. The petroglyphs were very interesting to see, but a lot of the uncolored ones are depending on lighting very difficult to see. The area is beautiful while walking the path to see the petroglyphs. If you are short on time the short path is an easy walk with plenty to see. This section has the painted glyphs which makes them very easy to see. The audio tour is very good which can be run by your cellphone.

This was Magic! Seeing all this rock engravings outside the Museum, with very good information. And the inside was really stunning! On the latest state of the art for knowledge transfer. A Lot of information about the historic cultures and Norwegian history packed into various stations of interaction and edutainment. Could have stayed for the whole day!

Fantastic place to visit absolutely amazing to learn the history of Norway and see the rock carvings. Very informative and has a nice cafe with good food too. Amazing that the toilet in the building is part of a bomb shelter too that was a bit surreal. Staff where also very friendly.

Very interesting piece of history and beautiful views. Three indoor exhibitions. Two circuits outside, shorter and longer or you can combine both. Dogs are not allowed inside, but allowed on the outdoor circuits, which is great. Large parking. We spent about two hours here because we arrived late, but it was still worth it. The indoor areas close at 5pm, but you can stay in outside part after 5pm.

If you are someone who enjoys visiting exhibitions, this museum is ideal for you. It not only presents the history of ancient stone carvings, but also offers a range of other fascinating historical exhibits. Unfortunately, due to snowfall, the outdoor section was closed to visitors.

Amazing experience with mind-blowing views. Easy to get to from main Alta bus station £2.50 RTN.

Beautiful circumstances with original, quartz slate roof.

A very pretty Church, a pity we could not go inside.

Beautiful older cathedral that used to be the main church in Alta until the new Cathedral of the Northern Lights was built. Very well maintained and peaceful.

Lovely old church

(Translated by Google) After Tromso, our second stay was Alta, another small village further north, nestled among the fjords (Original) Dopo Tromso, la nostra seconda permanenza è stata Alta, altro paesino più a Nord, incastonato tra i fiordi

(Translated by Google) Alta was completely destroyed during the war and rebuilt in a modern style. Alta Church, built of wood in 1858, is the oldest building in the city. In contrast, just a few kilometers away stands the modern Northern Lights Cathedral, built in 2013 and featuring unusual architecture. (Original) Alta wurde während des Krieges total zerstört und modern wieder aufgebaut. Die 1858 aus Holz erbaute Alta Kirche ist das älteste Gebäude der Stadt. Im Gegensatz dazu steht nur wenige Kilometer die erst 2013 erbaute moderne in ungewöhnlicher Architektur Nordlichtkathedrale.

A well known modern structure in Alta, reflecting the famous characteristics of the capital of the Northern Lights. It looks more like a spaceship than a church, with steel exterior and a steeple resembling a new aged chimney. Good attraction for tourism. Not a religious person, I did not go inside, there was a few people queueing for tickets. It's appx $10 usd. This new church is not far from the main area, with a few shops around and local buses run frequently. There's a smaller church within 10 mins walk, it is worth a visit, also.

Beautiful church, interesting blend metal wood and minimalist sacred articles. The Northern Lights video is worth seeing as it is presented 4K. Access is very easy, there are several busses that run by it. It is also very close to a major market area with great restaurants nearby so it can be a made a part that trip.

Northern Lights Cathedral is a very impressing monument built in concrete and steel. Its tower reflects even the northern lights during bright nights in winter time. The church usually opens at Lunchtime. During summer between 9 am and 3 pm, in winter time from 1 pm to 3 pm

We visited on a Saturday it's not unusual open but 3 ships was visiting it opened. Shuttle bus from ship to town centre and a little walk cost 70 nok .Beautiful inside well worth a visit. Toilets and cafe area.

Very cool and different church. Definitely something to see if you have time. Also a great way to support locals. You have to buy a ticket to enter.

It's a unique and beautifully designed church. To see the inside as a parishioner or even as a visitor would be fine, but as a "tourist " I'll save you the quickest 7 dollars you'd probably ever spend to see one room inside a church. My advice is take it in from the outside.

Stunning from the outside. The architecture is incredible. There's a very small fee to enter and you have to pay extra to watch a 20 minute video about the northern lights if you want to see it. The inside of the church is also very impressive, but I somehow expected more colour, with it being the Cathedral of the northern lights. Still definitely worth a visit as it's a very unusual place to see.

Super helpful and dedicated staff.

Great! And thank you so much for the tips for seeing the northern lights, it was wonderful !

The stuff there ( especially Ida) were really helpful. We make a lot of questions about where to go or which kind of activities we could do and she was all the time friendly and professional. Really good treatment and really helpful.

Very nice staff. Just popped in for a couple of tourist souvenirs, but even managed to bag a Christmas bauble (in a box) in March.

Unfortunately the information provided was not correct. Last year we were told the Tirpitz museum is open. Was closed. This year they told us the museum is closed. Luckily we didn't trust them and did call the museum directly. It was open and celebrating 75 years from attack on Tirpitz. Full of people, free entry... Why is information center unaware of this?

Very good can arrange trips and be picked up from there cheaper than the cruise ships very strong free WiFi short walk to the cathedral and shopping centre which is across the bus park and road

Very helpful and friendly people. They also sell very nice souvenirs, partly local and very unique.

saw this in gta 5 ngl

(Translated by Google) Nice church. Good priest, pleasant church servant and good service at the church office. Memories of both joy and sorrow from this beautiful church. (Original) Fin kirke. Flink prest, hyggelig kirketjener og god service på kirkekontoret. Minner fra både glede og sorg fra denne flotte kirke.

(Translated by Google) Nice christening, good priest. But there was too much stress when we had to take memorable photos afterwards. We were regularly kicked out as there was too little time for a wedding that was supposed to be after the christening. And that led to a lot of stress for the child who was christened. As we actually have to take some pictures and the child should not feel stressed. (Original) Fin barnedåp,grei prest.Men det ble for mye stress når vi skulle ta minnerike bilder etterpå.Vi ble regelrett kasta ut da d var for knap tid til et bryllup som skulle være etter dåp.og d førte til mye stress for ungen som ble døpt.da det faktisk skal ta litt bilder og ungen skal ikke føle stress.

(Translated by Google) The church had a very beautiful view for photography and has a beautiful architecture. We visited in the evening but unfortunately the door of the church was closed. Visiting the church is free. (Original) کلیسا نمای بسیار زیبایی برای عکاسی داشت و معماری قشنگی دارد. ما در عصر بازدید کردیم ولی متاسفانه درب کلیسا بسته بود‌ . بازدید از کلیسا رایگان است.

(Translated by Google) Elvebakken church, I have been there many times since the 1970s and I have enjoyed being there. (Original) Elvebakken kirke,der har jeg vært mange ganger helt fra 1970 tallet og jeg har likt godt å være der.

(Translated by Google) Elvebakken church is a long church from 1964 in Alta municipality, Finnmark county. Access to the site, which is a well-known tourist destination, is via county road 13 and E6. The building is made of concrete and wood and has 354 spaces. The architect for the church was Håkon Soltveit. Among the furnishings, the church has an altarpiece by Ivo Pannaggi; "The bound Jesus is taken to the cross" (copy after El Greco). The baptismal font and pulpit are made of wood, the font was made by Olaf Haldorsen, the pulpit by the Vocational School. The church's stained glass windows show "The Holy Spirit" and "The Cross" (Original) Elvebakken kirke er en langkirke fra 1964 i Alta kommune, Finnmark fylke.

(Translated by Google) Good space. Nice church and big space outside to take pictures (Original) God plass. Fin kirke og stor plass utenfor til å ta bilder

The Canyon could have been beautiful for sure, but the trail was way too demanding with a forceful stream to cross bare-footed only 1.3 km before the canyon. There were two families carrying babies on their backpacks hoping to make it to the site, but it was simply too dangerous. Thanks for the 19 km walk though (extra thanks to Google map for saying the Lodge was the trailhead…)

Not here, but if you want to hike there: Search for "Alta Canyon Trail Head" on google maps. Then you'll find an easy and beautiful 6km (one way so 12km total) leading to a view of the canyon. It's southeast of Gargia, next a dirt road where it's still easy to drive on.

This map location is still wrong as of Dec 2022 despite numerous reports, possibly due to the also wrong location on the official website (visit Norway). Search for “Alta Canyon Trail Head” instead, which is down the road from Gargia Lodge.

I recommend it to everyone who likes Norwegian nature

It’s cool, the walk to it was cooler

As others have pointed out, the dot is placed incorrectly on Google maps: instead search for Gargia lodge, a drive of about 15 minutes from Alta, from there you can follow a gravel road for about 5km until you reach a car park, there's an easy (slightly rocky) and beautiful 6km hike from there to the canyon.

The "Grand Canyon" of Northern Europe... Absolutely amazingly awesome 🤠

It was an interesting hike to the trollhomsund , except that we hiked via a barn cows. It was a bit smelly in part of our hike. All in all , it was an interesting experience.

This is near the car park, not the location of the stones, they're about 1.5km further north, you have to walk along a coastal footpath to reach them.

Magical place.

Unique

Nice place!

(Translated by Google) We visited here in July 2024. There are plenty of parking spaces, and there is a very clean toilet in the parking lot. The walk back and forth is about 2.5 km. We had children under the age of 2 and 4 with us, the walk went very well when sometimes we carried them in our arms. You can't walk that path with a stroller. Otherwise, the path was in good condition and very pleasant to walk on. The scenery was really nice. A place worth visiting. When the weather is good, you should bring snacks, there are a couple of places to fry sausages and a toilet by the stone trolls. (Original) Käytiin täällä heinäkuussa 2024. Parkkipaikkoja on mukavasti, parkkikselta löytyy ihan siisti vessa. Kävelymatkaa tule edestakaisin noin 2,5km. Meillä oli mukana alle 2v ja 4v lapset, ihan hyvin meni kävely, kun välillä kannettiin sylissä. Rattaiden kanssa tuota polkua ei pääse kulkemaan. Muuten polku oli hyväkuntoinen ja oikein mukava kävellä. Maisemat olivat oikein hienot. Käymisen arvoinen paikka. Tänne kannattaa hyvällä säällä ottaa eväät mukaan, kivipeikkojen luota löytyy pari makkaranpaistopaikkaa ja vessakin.

(Translated by Google) We were on our way to North Cape a while ago and discovered this beach by chance. Very impressive and beautiful. Free parking is available. No overnight parking for RVs allowed! After a short walk, you'll see these amazing rock formations, and the sky's the limit for photography and imagination. Very beautiful. If you're already in the area, definitely make the detour. (Original) Wir waren vor einiger Zeit auf dem Weg zum Nordkapp und haben durch Zufall von diesem Strand erfahren. Sehr beeindruckend und schön. Ein kostenloser Parkplatz ist vorhanden. KEINE Übernachtung für Wohnmobile erlaubt! Nach einem kurzen Spaziergang sieht man diese tollen Felsformationen und der Fotografie sowie der Fantasie sind keine Grenzen gesetzt. Sehr schön. Wenn man schon einmal in der Ecke ist - unbedingt den Abstecher mitnehmen.

We did a tour inside. Museum is not too big but there's plenty of information available. For non-nordic speakers, I strongly recommend an audio tour to understand the exhibition. Staff is friendly and helpful

Nice place. I'm very excited. I have never seen museum with natural sound and nice exebition. Tusen takk - Stabbursnes nature museum. I will be back again with my family. Greetings from Bulgaria.

Not a lot to explore in the museum! Better to spend time outside watching for the birds or the salmons in the river. There is a tourist office to have informations you'll need!

They present themselves as Stabbursnes National Park VISITOR'S CENTRE, but have the audacity to charge an entrance fee.

Not very interresting place. Dont bother to stop...

Great fishing lodge

Nice place
