The World’s 100 Best Waterfalls

Låtefossen

Odda, Norway

  1. THE WORLD’S BEST WATERFALLS WORTH A JOURNEY · 2026 ✦ ✦ N° 86 2026
Låtefossen

Twin streams plunge about 165 metres down a mountainside in the Odda Valley, join near the bottom and rush under an old stone bridge. Dark rock and green slopes surround it, and a car park beside the road gives access without a hike.

Highlights

  • Twin drop of 165 metres
  • Two streams joining below
  • Old stone bridge and spray

Good to know

  • Car park fills quickly, especially in high season
  • No pedestrian walkway on the bridge
  • Spray soaks visitors; bring a raincoat
