Huskies and History
Port
Alta, Norway
Activity Level
moderate
Duration
3:00 Hours
Journey to a local husky farm where you’ll receive a warm welcome and hear tales of the arctic over coffee, ice tea and cookies. Then meet the affectionate working dogs, with lots of instagramable moments with the cuddly puppies. Wander through the exhibitions in Alta Museum featuring Sami artefacts, ancient Komsa Culture, and the Northern Lights, and take a leisurely walk outside, around the UNESCO pre-historic rock carvings. Dating back over 6,000 years, these fascinating carvings show Stone Age activities and represent people, weapons and hunting scenes. On your drive back, stop for photos of the charming neo-Gothic-style Alta Church.
