Visit Majestic Waterfalls in Norway

The land of a thousand waterfalls

No matter where you travel in Norway, the sound of rushing water is never far away. With thousands of waterfalls across the country — ranging from gentle cascades to thunderous vertical drops — these natural wonders are a defining feature of the landscape. Fed by snowmelt and glaciers, they pour down mountainsides, crash into fjords, or meander through deep forests. Whether thundering from great heights or gently trickling over mossy rocks, every waterfall tells a story shaped by nature.

Fjord country’s greatest hits

Western Norway is home to some of the country’s most iconic waterfalls. This is where the fjords and waterfalls truly shine together. In this region, towering cliffs meet deep fjords, and snowmelt feeds countless falls during spring and summer. In Rogaland, home to the famous Lysefjord, the landscape marks the dramatic beginning of Norway’s world-class fjord scenery. Here, steep granite cliffs plunge into deep waters, and waterfalls tumble down the rock faces — making every boat trip or hike a visual feast.

Further north in Hordaland, you’ll find a breathtaking mix of glaciers, high plateaus, and dramatic drops like Vøringsfossen. The Hardangerfjord region comes alive in spring, when waterfalls tumble through orchards of blooming fruit trees. Even further north in Sogn og Fjordane, waterfalls cascade from snowy peaks into the deep waters of Sognefjord — Norway’s longest fjord. And in Møre og Romsdal, home to Geirangerfjord and Hjørundfjord, you’ll find some of the tallest and most iconic waterfalls in the country, including The Seven Sisters

Highlights in Western Norway include:

  • Vøringsfossen, with its dramatic 182-meter drop
  • Langfoss, often ranked among the most beautiful in the world
  • The Seven Sisters and Suitor Waterfalls, seen from Geirangerfjord
  • Kjosfossen, along the famous Flåm Railway

Untouched power in the north and inland

Inland areas in Central Norway such as Buskerud, Oppland, and Trøndelag feature wide river waterfalls, salmon ladders, and forest-lined falls perfect for peaceful walks and fishing trips. These regions offer a quieter, greener side of Norway with heaps of waterfalls. Head even farther north to Nordland and Troms, and you’ll find plunging falls cutting through arctic valleys and tundra. These raw, undeveloped landscapes in Northern Norway offer breathtaking waterfall scenery — from wide river falls to narrow torrents plunging off mountain plateaus — inviting you to explore and experience some of the country’s most unspoiled regions.

Southern Norway’s hidden gems

While Southern Norway tends to be sunnier and drier than most of the country, and despite the fact there aren’t many waterfalls untouched by hydroelectric developments, areas like Telemark, Aust-Agder, and Vest-Agder still have plenty of beautiful, lesser-known waterfalls to offer, many of them often smaller and found along hikes or accessible on road trips between the region’s towns and coastlines. 

A sensory experience worth seeking

Standing near a roaring waterfall, you feel the cool mist on your face, the sound vibrating through the ground, the rumble of the water, and the power of nature surrounding you while the towering presence of rock and river combine to create something unforgettable. Many falls are accessible by road or short hikes, while others require a bit more effort — but every one is worth the journey. The contrast of peaceful scenery and cascading water makes these spots especially rewarding.
