Dear Guests

Welcome to Alta

Here you’ll find the guest program and other practical information to help you make the most of your stay. The program has been carefully curated by the Barents Sports Committee Norway, and we’re confident you’ll find it both engaging and inspiring.

On Saturday morning, we invite you to take part in our seminar, where we’ll explore the intersection of sports, economic challenges, and the creation of vibrant, thriving communities in the North.

But the heart of this event lies beyond the seminar room — out on the many arenas of Alta, the fantastic sports city, where we’ll experience the joy of sports and the powerful sense of unity that defines the Barents region.

We hope you have an unforgettable stay — filled with inspiration, connections, and the true spirit of the North!
