Alta’s Wold Heritage consists of rock carvings and rock paintings, the oldest more than 7000 years old. The rock art was created over a period of 5000 years. During that period, Alta was an important meeting place for people both from the coastal and inland regions.

In the snow-free periods of the year there is a system of pathways through the outdoor area. The short route is 1,2 km and the long route is 3 km. Choose between a printed guidebook, audio guide of order a personal guide in advance.
