It is possible to visit the Vøringsfossen Waterfall, go summer skiing on the Folgefonna Glacier and take a swim in the fjord – all on the same day.

Wild reindeer

The fjords lie side by side, and on the plateau you might sneak a peak at the wild reindeer herds that live here.

There are also several museums, and the Hardangervidda National Park provides an extensive network of marked trails and tourist huts.

The classified road rv. 7 between Halne on the Hardangervidda plateau, and Steindalsfossen Waterfall west of Nordheimsund, has been designated as a national tourist route.
