Description of the walk

Park in the large car park below the E8 road, halfway between Skibotn and the Finnish border, about 20 kilometres from the E6/E8 junction.

(S/E) Reach the bridge over the torrent and descend to the right before it, following the rapids. Barriers have been installed at the edge of the cliff. At the top of the waterfall, continue downhill and take a difficult passage at the edge of the void, where you will need to use your hands.

(1) At the bottom, admire the waterfall and climb back up the same way you came (S/E).
