Alteidet is a small coastal village in Lapland in the far north of Norway. This former trading post on the Little Altafjord, a branch of the Kvaenangenfjord, is located on a wooded isthmus about 50 km west of the town of Alta. The name Alteidet is a combination of Alta and eidet (= isthmus). There are about 130 residents living in the area. Nowadays, the European route E6 runs along Alteidet.
