The waterfall can be accessed by a walking tour of two to three hours from the village of
Øvre Årdal up the
Utladalen valley; locally this is known as an easy walk. The name of the waterfall comes from the
Vetti farm, which is located near the base of the waterfall. The mountain farm
Vettismorki is also located nearby, just above the falls. From
Vetti gard the trail to Vettisfossen becomes much more rocky. The trail drops back down to the river and follows along the rocky bank for about to the outwash plain at the base of the Vettisfossen (the left side of the river
Fosselvi). The trail basically ends there. But if one wants to see Vettisfossen waterfall, one can do it only from the opposite side of
Fosselvi river, but under no circumstances should attempts be made to cross the river outside of the absolute lowest flow periods. ==Media gallery==
