Slowly, but surely, enthusiasts and local tourism enterprises have built a selection that is the stuff of dreams. When something is going on long enough, <a href=\"https:\/\/visitalta.no\/article\/sykling-er-en-del-av-altas-dna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it becomes part of the city\u2019s DNA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alta is the site of a sustainable biking boom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain biking is still relatively new in Norwegian nature, and Alta was no different when this activity really took off a few years ago.
