With a free fall of 275 meters Vettisfossen is Norway’s largest protected/unregulated waterfall and we have to admit that the waterfall is quit powerful. It is located in a protected area in Utladal, near Øvre Årda.

When hiking to the Vettisfossen waterfall, you will not only be rewarded with this powerful beauty, but you can also enjoy many other beautiful waterfalls along the way: Hjellefossen, Avdalsfossen and many other little waterfalls spread throughout the valley.

You can choose to either walk to the top or to the bottom of the waterfall. The total hike, both to the top and to the bottom, is around 13km (6,5km one way). The first part of the hike is easy and quit flat, but don’t underestimate the second part. Let us tell you more about the hike to this magnificent waterfall through the gorgeous Utladal Valley. We only hiked to the bottom of the waterfall so we will only focus on this hike.

You can find more information about this waterfall and the hike in our blogpost in the link.
