Snowshoe Adventure
Tour Overview
This snowshoe tour takes you through the snow-covered forests outside Alta to the frozen Orvvosfossen waterfall. It starts with a 30-minute drive to the historic Gargia Lodge. From the lodge we put on our snowshoes and follow a trail into the Gargia forest, through quiet, untouched winter landscape. You may spot wildlife along the way. After just under two kilometres, about 1.5 hours, we reach the waterfall, which has frozen into a large ice sculpture. On the riverbank we take a break with coffee, toddy and snacks. The walk is about 2 km each way. We ask that you wear warm, sturdy winter shoes.
