Vøringsfossen viewpoint

Vøringsfossen, one of Norway's most iconic waterfalls, is located in beautiful Eidfjord in Hardanger.

Hardanger

With an impressive drop of 182 metres, including a 145-metre free fall, it attracts many visitors keen to experience the dramatic scenery and breathtaking views. Accessible footbridges and viewpoints allow you to get close to the waterfall. Vøringsfossen is part of the scenic Måbødalen valley, which is also well worth exploring.

One of the newest attractions is Trappebrua, which offers a unique perspective of the waterfall. This spectacular footbridge, which opened on 21 August 2020, spans 47 metres and has 99 steps.

Ample parking is available both along the main road and at Fossli Hotel. Open during the spring, summer and autumn seasons, the hotel is a great place to stop for a bite to eat and a drink.
