There are thousands of these fascinating archaeological remains, which detail images of animals, and scenes of hunter/gatherer life.

Norseman Trail Safari

Come along for a snowmobile ride from the outskirts of Alta to the middle of nowhere! Whether you are an expert rider or this is your first time on a snowmobile, we will take good care of you and show you some incredible sights. The tour starts in downtown Alta, where you dress as needed in a thermal suit and get the proper-sized helmet. Then we drive out to our starting point about a 15-minute drive away, where the snowmobiles are waiting at the trailhead for us. Safety instructions are given, and then you're off and into the wilderness! Your guides will show you the way and adjust the challenge of the tour to match the experience level of the group. But no matter what, you will find plenty to marvel at, and good photo opportunities at the occasional stops. At the midpoint, you will take a break inside a lavvo, a Sami-style tent, for coffee and conversation. Then it's back to the trail and back to Alta. The tour includes transport from and back to Alta city center.
