Sandsfossen

Sandsfossen is located by the Salmon Studio in Larvika at Sand, marking the area where Western Norway's largest river, Suldalslågen, meets Sandsfjorden.

‍

The waterfall is a magnificent sight, with a total drop of 5 meters. The Salmon Studio is also located at this waterfall. Here, you can go down into the studio where you look into the fifth step of the salmon ladder to experience the salmon on its way up from the sea to spawn. The Salmon Studio is open from May to September each year. Read more about opening hours for the summer season under "What's Happening".

The salmon season in Suldalslågen runs from June to September. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of salmon leaping up the waterfall before they embark on their long journey up the river?

Sandsfossen is also within walking distance of the municipal center Sand, with cafes, shops, a museum, cultural center, swimming beach, and more.

Easily accessible: There is a parking lot approximately 50 meters from the viewpoint to Sandsfossen. Here, you'll find an open, gravelled area with a slight incline.
