Balayfossen, Waterfall in Ulvik, Norway
The Balayfossen waterfall drops 850 meters through multiple tiers, with its largest single cascade measuring 452 meters in height and 6 meters in width.
The waterfall formed by the Balåi River has been a natural landmark for generations, marking the landscape of the Osafjorden region since geological times.
Local communities along the Osafjorden have integrated the waterfall into their regional identity, with its name Balåifossen reflecting traditional Norwegian naming conventions.
Visitors can observe the waterfall while driving on Road FV300 between Ulvik and Osa, with the best viewing conditions occurring during spring snowmelt.
The waterfall begins at 1600 meters altitude, fed by the Onen glacier and Langvatnet lake, creating a natural water system that flows into Osafjorden.
