Overview

Witness the awe-inspiring Vøringsfossen, one of Norway’s most spectacular and iconic waterfalls! With a total drop of 182 metres, including a 145-metre free fall, it is a sight that truly takes your breath away.
Located at the edge of the Hardangervidda National Park, Vøringsfossen is framed by dramatic cliffs, a deep canyon, and raw, powerful nature.
Standing on one of the many viewing platforms — or on the spectacular footbridge that spans directly above the cascade — is an experience that cannot be described. It must be felt !

This tour is a round bus trip that takes you along the beautiful Hardangerfjord, with memorable stops at Steinsdalsfossen and at the viewpoint above the Hardanger Bridge, where you can enjoy the majestic fjord from above.

We also visit the Norwegian Nature Center, where we enjoy lunch and watch their 180-degree panoramic film, giving you a deeper understanding of the dramatic landscapes you experience on this tour.

Fossen Bratte

One of the most dramatic waterfalls along the route, Fossen Bratte – often called “The Bride’s Veil” because of its elegant white spray – is known for its impressive 80-meter drop and the powerful roar that echoes through the valley.Today, the road passes through a tunnel behind the waterfall, but after parking, we can follow the old road to reach the top of the fall. You can also choose to go the opposite way - down to the bottom of this mighty cascade, where you can truly feel the strength of the water.Your guide is always with you, helping you find your way, take the best photos, and enjoy the best possible experience.

Skjervsfossen Waterfall

Skjervsfossen is a striking double waterfall located along the National Tourist Route Hardanger, between Voss and Granvin. With two cascades side by side and a combined drop of 150 metres, it offers an impressive and dramatic sight.The area is beautifully developed with paths, stone steps, viewpoints, rest areas, and even a unique, award-winning toilet. We first stop at the bottom of the waterfall, where you can walk right up to the foot of the cascade and feel the refreshing spray — a natural “shower” from the powerful torrent.From here, you may follow the path up along the waterfall to the top. If you prefer to stay with the bus, we drive through the famous Skjervet hairpin bends to the upper viewpoint, where platforms bring you close to the rushing water.
