About this experience

Rock carvings are a must-see for any visitor to Norway. Located in the Alta Fjord, the carvings are thought to be over 6,000 years old and are the largest collection of rock carvings in Northern Europe. The carvings depict scenes of everyday life, animals, and hunting, and are a fascinating insight into the lives of the people who lived here thousands of years ago.

The carvings are best seen from the nearby viewing platform, which offers spectacular views of the fjord and the carvings. There is also a museum nearby which provides more information about the carvings and the people who created them. The carvings are a unique and important part of Norway's cultural heritage, and a visit to the carvings is a must for anyone looking to explore Norway's history and culture.
