A seemingly ordinary village hides dozens of mysterious places waiting to be discovered - hidden waterfalls, rock regiments, viewpoints, and trails.
As the residents say (those with long experience), this neighborhood will never get bored.
The village of Valdall is our neighbor. Lights of the houses there can be seen from the Norddal shore. We are only 4 km away by the fjord, which you can cross by kayak, boat, or ferry. It is a great place if you are hungry for extreme sports. There is a lot of outdoor adventured like rafting, canyoning, snowshoeing, ski touring, climbing with the zipline at the end, or activity park for the whole family.
A picturesque location of the cafe in Gudbransjuvet.
If you are traveling by car or bike, be sure to stop by the road to visit a place called Gudbrandsjuvet, which is a 5 meter narrow and 20–25 meter high ravine through which the Valldøla River forces. The water has formed a complex of deep potholes and intricate formations. You can admire beautiful cascades, by walking along the bridges and paths designed especially for this purpose. There is also a cafe situated close to the waterfall.
The river Valldøla squeezing between the rocks.
By the same river, a bit further, you can visit Juvet Landscape Hotel, which is really famous in Norway. Luxury cabins are built close to the river with a private, calm view. Juvet become more famous after Alex Garland chose this place as the location to shoot the iconic movie Ex-Machina. It is worth seeing the hotel even from the outside to compare it later with the scenes from the movie.
