Journey to Vøringsfossen — one of Norway's most spectacular waterfalls, plunging 182 m into a cathedral-like gorge — and across the vast Hardangervidda plateau. An expert guide unlocks the natural and cultural drama at every stop.
What to expect
A scenic drive from the fjord ascends through apple orchards and birch forest onto the Hardangervidda, Europe's largest mountain plateau and a national park roamed by wild reindeer. At Vøringsfossen, you stand at the gorge's edge as 182 metres of glacial meltwater explodes below — the mist and roar are genuinely awe-inspiring. Your guide shares the geology of the plateau, the Sami and Norse traditions of the high country, and the conservation story of Norway's largest national park. The return journey reveals sweeping panoramas of the Hardangerfjord far below.
Good to know
Transfer from Ulvik to Eidfjord is straightforward by taxi or pre-arranged minibus (approx. 20–25 min). Confirm pick-up logistics when booking. Wear sturdy footwear and windproof layers — the plateau is exposed. Check the all-aboard time carefully and factor in travel back to Ulvik.
