Private Tour to Tirpitz Museum

One of our best guides from North Adventure will meet you in Alta and accompany you to Kåfjord. Along the way, they will explain about the history of the area, both in general and specifically regarding the events of the World War.

You’ll stop at the old Alta Church, which survived the destruction of Alta, and at the deep bomb crater at the fjord’s edge where one of the Tall Boy bombs missed its target. Then it’s over the beautiful and architecturally interesting Kåfjord bridge to the Tirpitz Museum. The museum features artifacts from the area and from Tirpitz itself and brings a startling clarity to the participants on both sides of the conflict. Once done at the museum, you’ll stop outside Kåfjord Church (the only other building in the area to survive the war’s destruction) and then head up the coast for a walk along the edge of the fjord to find the ruins of a bunker amid the delightful arctic scenery. Then it’s back to Alta and modern times again.
