A fantastic hike to Orvvosfossen. It's also worth taking the path up the waterfall. You'll be rewarded with a stunning view and a small lake with crystal-clear water.

An easy, varied hike to the impressive waterfall, currently icy. It's definitely worth it once you're there. You usually come across herds of reindeer here.

At minus 18 degrees and minus 25 degrees due to the wind, it takes a lot of courage for us to even set off...
The beautiful path and the breathtaking view of the frozen waterfall make up for it.
