Alta
Alta is the communication centre of the largest and less populated Norwegian region - the extreme northeast Finnmark. It can be easily reached by plane directly from Oslo or by highway. The local culture and traditions are a mixture of Norwegian and Lappish (Sammi) culture, as Alta belonged for many years only to Northern Scandinavia indigenous people and was under Finland's administration. Alta offers magnificent natural sites and views, being the perfect place to enjoy the unique aurora borealis. Take your time to admire the Altafjorden, the large canyon carved out by the river Altaelva and the prehistorical rock carvings nearby - the former being a cultural heritage protected by UNESCO.

Andalsnes
The administrative center of the Rauma municipality is the small town of Andalsnes, which could be considered a very unfortunate location. It served to the royal family in their escape from the Nazis' invasion in 1940 and it was destroyed by bombs. Reconstructed piece by piece, Andalsnes is nowadays a modern town, visited by many tourists mainly because of its position. It is the starting point of Trollstigen, a motor way through a splendid mountain pass, that heads south; it is continued by another scenic route, named Ornevegen (Eagle's Road), in the way to the Geiranger fjord. Close to Andalsnes, you can admire Trollveggen, the highest vertical cliff in Europe, a true challenge for any climber. It can also be admired from one of the most scenic railways in Norway, which passes it back and forth through 180 degrees tunnels.
