Why is it feminine?

Alturas is feminine because it derives from the Latin "altitūdo," which is a feminine noun ending in "-tūdo" (a productive feminine suffix in Latin), and this feminine gender was preserved through the sound changes that transformed Latin into Spanish, particularly the loss of the final "-o" that left the "-a" ending characteristic of Spanish feminine nouns.
