Discover National Parks around the world with the HISTORY Channel.
The village of Eidfjord has only about 1,000 inhabitants, however, mainly due to its production of hydroelectric power, it is one of Norway's wealthiest communities.
Your tour starts with a drive through the spectacular and steep Måbødalen Valley. The road leads to the vast Hardanger Mountain Plateau — the largest mountain plateau in Northern Europe. It is also part of Norway's largest National Park.
Stop at Vøringsfossen Waterfall, which cascades almost 600 feet into the wild Måbødalen Valley below.
The nearby Hardangervidda Nature & Wildlife Center offers exhibits of the wildlife in the area and an audiovisual presentation about the waterfalls and dams.
Return to the village of Eidfjord, where your tour ends.
Notes:
In Spring (April & May), some viewpoints or attractions are inaccessible due to snow, causing roads to remain closed; this varies greatly from season to season. An alternative viewpoint or attraction may be substituted. The onboard Shore Excursions team will provide the latest details approximately 48 hours prior to the call at Eidfjord. Tour may be cancelled at short notice. Weather and atmospheric conditions vary; no guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Children under the age of 3 must be secured in a child's car seat on the transportation. These are not available through the tour operator; you must bring your own from home.
