Private tour - Hardangerfjord, Voss Gondola & 4 Great Waterfalls

Fossen Bratte, also called Brudesløret, Eikedalsfoss or Brattefossen is one of the big waterfalls near Bergen on the way between Bergen and Norheimsund in the region Hordaland. Although Steinsdalsfossen is the main attraction in the Bergen region with busloads of people, some people find Fossen Bratte maybe even more impressive. Fossen Bratte means steep waterfall and that is a statement: The river Eikedalselva thunders down in a single drop over 79 meters.

The waterfall is one of the most visited tourist sites in Norway. From the parking lot, the path goes along the waterfall, up a hill, and behind it where visitors can walk dryshod "into" the rumbling water. Steinsdalsfossen is 46 metres (151 ft) high, with a main drop of 20 metres (66 ft), and has the greatest volume when the snow melts in May and June. Steinsdalsfossen is part of the Fosselva river that comes from the water of the lake Myklavatnet located 814 metres (2,671 ft) above sea level in the mountains above the waterfall. The Emperor Wilhelm ll of Germany visited Steinsdalsfossen nearly every summer from 1889 until the start of World War l in 1914. The waterfall was formed in 1699 when the river found a new race.

It is located in Vestland county in the Hardanger region. The fjord stretches 179 kilometres (111 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean into the mountainous interior of Norway along the Hardangervidda plateau. About 8,000 BC, the Scandinavian land mass started to rise up as enormous glacial ice started to melt. The lower parts of the valleys became flooded, and so created what we today know as the Hardangerfjord. The valley was originally not only made through glacial erosion but by the high pressure melting water which pushed its way beneath the ice.

Hardanger bridge is a suspension bridge across the Eidfjorden branch of Hardangerfjorden in Hordaland county, The bridge connects the municipalities of Ullensvang and Ulvik. It replaced a ferry connection between Bruravik and Brimnes, and thereby shortens the driving time between Oslo and Bergen. It is the longest suspension bridge in Norway. The bridge is 1,380 metres (4,530 ft) long, with a main span of 1,310 metres (4,300 ft).

Vøringsfossen waterfall is the 83rd highest waterfall in Norway on the basis of total fall. It lies at the top of Måbødalen valley in the municipality of Eidfjord. It has a total drop of 182 meters (597 ft), and a major drop of 163 meters (534 ft). It is perhaps the most famous waterfall in the Norway and a major tourist attraction on the way down from Hardangervidda to Hardangerfjord.

On the road between Granvin and Voss lies Skjervsfossen with its twin falls plunging out from a height of 150 metres. Skjervsfossen offers a carefully organised network of paths, stairs, viewpoints, rest areas, picnic areas and parking facilities. The experience of the waterfall will differ depending on your location along the waterfall, the weather, seasons and water flow. At the foot of the waterwall, you can experience the Shower; a beautiful scenic area in which you feel the immense power of the waterfall surging through your body. As the name implies, you may get soaking wet if there has been heavy rainfall.

Voss is a municipality and a traditional district in Vestland county, Norway. The administrative center of the municipality is the village of Vossevangen. Voss is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and fast-flowing whitewater rivers. This has led to its development as a notable center of skiing, water sports, skydiving, paragliding and other adventure sports. Every year in the last week of June the area hosts the Extreme Sports Week which is regarded as the world's premier extreme sports festival. Bømoen, the local airstrip, is home to Skydive Voss, one of the largest dropzones in Norway, as well as a gliding club. The rivers provide various levels of white water, attracting kayaking, rafting and river boarding. Kite surfing and para-bungee may be seen on lake Vangsvatnet. The ski area, to the north of the town, is accessible via a cable car, Hangursbanen.

At the top station you get a panoramic view to many of the mountains surrounding Voss. You'll also find a variety of activities here - in the summertime you can go hiking, biking, paragliding or visit the restaurant and café and simply enjoy the view. In the winter season the gondola takes you to the ski resort Voss Resort, where you can have fun in the snow all day.
