Vøringsfossen viewpoint

Vøringsfossen waterfall

"Visitors get an airy and safe experience of the waterfall, the valley and the magnificent start of the western fjords," says the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.

The majestic viewing platforms at Fossli give visitors an unforgettable experience of the waterfall, the valley and the magnificent entrance to the western fjords. This project, led by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, combines functionality, safety and aesthetics to create a holistic experience that highlights the unique nature of the area.

Airy and safe experiences

Strategically placed on the edge of the gorge below Fossli, the platforms allow visitors to get close to the forces of nature in a safe and secure way. Through smart solutions and solid constructions, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the waterfall and the surrounding valley without compromising their own safety.

Paths and stairs for accessibility

To improve accessibility, paths and stairs have been established to guide visitors safely through the terrain. These elements are designed to fit into the landscape, providing a natural and seamless transition between different viewpoints. The use of durable materials ensures that the infrastructure can withstand both the test of time and the large number of visitors that the area attracts.

Facilities for a holistic experience

The project includes more than just the viewing platforms. A new toilet block has been built to ensure visitor comfort, and parking lots make the area easily accessible for tourists and local communities. Information boards provide insight into the area's history, geology and nature, adding an educational dimension to the visit.
