Komsa
A small hill just north of the town center. The hike to the top takes about an hour, with views over Alta and the fjord. In summer, it is a favorite spot for watching the midnight sun.
Komsa Hill rises to just over 200 meters, immediately north of the city center. The summit is about an hour's walk from the trailhead at the foot of the hill. From the top, you can see the whole town of Alta, the fjord, and snowy peaks in the distance. In summer, when the midnight sun does not set, it is especially popular with locals. Komsa is also the type site of the Komsa culture, Norway's earliest Stone Age culture. In winter, there is a sledding slope at the base of the hill that is ideal for families.
