Hitchhiking out

It is not easy to hitchhike out of Alta. There are some good spots, but people are reluctant to stop.

 
Attempt to hitchhike to Tromsø

West, E 6 towards Tromsø

The Alta Museum seems a good spot, it's fairly easy to stop, but Guaka and Erga tried for a long time and no one did.

South, 93 towards Kautokeino

There are no great spots in Alta, but if you get to Ovre Alta there is a fairly decent bus stop.
