V\u00f8ringsfossen plunges from the Hardangervidda plateau into the head of the M\u00e5b\u00f8dalen valley in Eidfjord Municipality, in the Hardanger region of western Norway. It lies right beside Route 7 (Rv7), the Hardangervidda National Tourist Route between Bergen and Oslo, about 20 kilometres up the valley from the village of Eidfjord; Bergen is roughly three hours away by car, and Geilo about an hour across the plateau. There are two parking areas: Fossli, at the top of the falls, and Fossatromma, a lower viewing area across the gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qui fait la renomm\u00e9e de V\u00f8ringsfossen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

V\u00f8ringsfossen is perhaps Norway’s best-known waterfall: the river Bjoreio drops a total of 182 metres, with a main fall of 163 metres, into the narrow M\u00e5b\u00f8dalen gorge. It was hardly known outside the area until 1821, when the scientist Christopher Hansteen tried to measure its height by timing falling stones, and the Fossli Hotel, built in 1891 in the Art Nouveau style, still stands on the edge above the falls; the composer Edvard Grieg had a cabin nearby and was a frequent visitor. As part of the National Tourist Routes, more than a kilometre of secure paths and viewing platforms has been built here, and in 2020 a striking step bridge by the architect Carl-Viggo H\u00f8lmebakk opened across the gorge, 47 metres long with one end 16 metres higher than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informations pratiques et conseils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La visite de la cascade est gratuite ; parkings, toilettes et b\u00e2timents de service \u00e0 Fossli et \u00e0 Fossatromma sont normalement ouverts de d\u00e9but avril \u00e0 novembre, et une partie des sentiers, des plateformes et le pont-escalier ferment en hiver. Comptez de trente minutes \u00e0 une heure et demie pour faire le tour des belv\u00e9d\u00e8res. La rivi\u00e8re est r\u00e9gul\u00e9e pour l'hydro\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, avec un d\u00e9bit minimal garanti en \u00e9t\u00e9. Le site se trouve en bordure du haut plateau et le temps peut changer vite : pr\u00e9voyez des v\u00eatements chauds, coupe-vent et imperm\u00e9ables et des chaussures qui accrochent bien, car les sentiers pr\u00e8s des embruns peuvent \u00eatre glissants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
