What to do and see in Fjord Norway, Fjord Norway: The Best Valleys

The valley from Kinsarvik to Hardangervidda is one of the natural wonders in Ullensvang, including 4 impressive waterfalls, lying close at each other within a distance of 3 hours on foot. Tveitafossen, abt 4 kms from Kinsarvik centre, thereafter 3 bigger waterfalls within walking distance Nyastolsfossen, Nykkjesoyfossen and Sotefossen. Excellent terrain for hikes.

Innerdalen has frequently been called Norway's most beautiful mountain valley. Drive the RV 70 road between Sunndalsora and Tingvoll, turn off at Alvundeid and head in to Nerdal. Park your car and enjoy the hour it takes you to stroll the four kilometres in to the heart of the Innerdalen valley. The valley resembles a cathedral, dominated by the 1,452 metre mountain Innerdalstarnet (Means; The tower of Innerdalen walley), which towers over the valley like a natural spire. A crystal clear lake sparkles on the valley floor and streams and small rivers cascade down from the glaciers above. A network of marked paths takes you out of the valley and into the mountains, where Renndolsetra summer pasture farm lies ready to welcome you with traditional fare and farm animals. Further into the mountains, you come to the Innerdalshyttene cabins, one old and one new cabin, which are run by the Norwegian Mountain Hiking Association and which have long been used as a stopping place, and a place to eat and stay overnight by travellers in the mountains.

Uradalen is a conservation area where you can see the remainder of the oak forest that covered most of Jaeren about 2000 years ago. This valley also contains a lush deciduous forest of temperate trees, with a flourishing flora and fauna. This area is home to Saeland nature reserve, which you pass through on your way to Uradalen. Furthest in lies Bjodnalia, an abandoned upland farm that was in use until 1907. The area is ideal for family walks and outings. Parking at Saeland by Fv205 between Undheim and algard.
