Utladalen Landscape Protection Area, Protected landscape in Årdal and Luster Municipality, Norway.
The 300-square-kilometer Utladalen valley system contains deep valleys, mountain peaks over 2,000 meters high, and four bridges crossing the Utla river.
The Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management established Utladalen as a protected landscape area on December 5, 1980, adjacent to Jotunheimen National Park.
The walking road through Utladalen was constructed using voluntary contributions from individuals committed to preserving natural areas for future generations.
The walking path begins in Øvre Årdal village and extends through the valley, offering access to Vettisfossen waterfall with its 275-meter natural drop.
Utladalen holds the distinction of being Norway's deepest valley, featuring the Vettisfossen, which stands as the country's largest unregulated waterfall.
