Kjosfossen, 225-meter waterfall in Aurland Municipality, Norway

The waterfall drops through multiple cascades over steep mountain cliffs, creating a powerful display of water flowing from the Norwegian mountains.

The construction of a dedicated stopping place near Kjosfossen in 1951 marked the beginning of organized tourism at this natural landmark.

During summer months, ballet students perform traditional Norwegian folklore as Huldra characters, dancing near the waterfall for train passengers.

The waterfall is accessible exclusively via the Flåm Railway, with trains making scheduled stops at a viewing platform four kilometers from Myrdal station.

A hydroelectric power station at Kjosfossen generates electricity specifically for operating the Flåm Railway line throughout the year.
