A short marked walk at Sandfallet in Alta, about 3 km each way. It starts at the car park by Stjernegrillen, close to sea level, and climbs only about 60 metres. Plan about 2,5 hours both ways.
The path is easy to combine with a stop in Alta. Take a jacket: the weather near the fjord can change quickly.
