SUMMER & AUTUMN ACTIVITIES
Midnight Sun and Lush Landscapes
Whether it’s adventure you’re after or calm moments in nature, like enjoying the view from mountain peaks at midnight, Bjørnfjell is the perfect place to stop on your road trip through Arctic Norway.
The Midnight Sun
From around 17th of May until the end of July the sun never sets below the horizon in Alta. This is because the Earth rotates with an inclined axis in relation to the sun, causing the sun rays to hit the northernmost points above the Arctic circle during the summer months. If the sky is clear, you will be able to see the sun and the beautiful hue of gold, pink and red it colors the sky throughout the entire night.
Locals do not sleep away the summer night – and neither should you! Want to sit up and enjoy the sun or go fishing at midnight? No problem when daylight is present 24/7!
At Bjørnfjell we offer activities that can be done all day long.
Alta has a varied landscape with both dramatic mountains and small peaks. The perfect place for all kinds of hikers. Even though the peaks are not too high, they will provide a great view of the surrounding mountains, the fjord and the rest of Alta.
