View of Älgafossen from the bridges

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

One should if possible in the spring or autumn to this place, since the river in the summer (2019) only little water and the waterfall then only a little spectacular effect ....

Very big and beautiful waterfall, at the border between Sweden and Norway. There is a small parking nearby (4, 5 cars max), which is above the waterfall. There is a sign going in the forest, and in 5min we reach the water. Many viewpoints from here. Then you can cross the bridge with the 2 country flags, and go down the path along the waterfall. Also many viewpoints from there. There is another bridge at the bottom, and it's possible to go back easily to the parking, without having to climb back next to the waterfall.

August 26, 2025,Elgåfossen Wasserfall – Elgafossen Wasserfall Runde von Vassbotten

We extended our visit to Elgafossen with a short circular walk, as it's practically a drive-through.

If more water thunders down there, it would certainly be spectacular – but it's also beautiful to watch. It's also a great spot for a picnic; there's even a large fire pit.

A beautiful hike between countries and weather. Norwegian rain greeted us punctually at the border. Along the way, the sun came out and showed us a beautiful landscape. LG🙋‍♀️
