Vetlan Rock, Natural rock formation in Krasnovishersk area, Perm Region, Russia.

Vetlan Rock is a system of nearly vertical cliffs on the Vishera River, 8 km upstream from Krasnovishersk. The walls begin 40–50 m above the water and reach 263 m above sea level at their highest point; the river at the foot lies at 121.4 m. The formation runs 1750 m in length.

Vetlan is a geological and geomorphological site on the Vishera, 8 km upstream from Krasnovishersk. A wooden staircase of about 700 steps with viewing platforms was built to the summit in 2003. It was completely dismantled in spring 2016 after a woman from Solikamsk fell while descending in January 2016, and there are no plans to rebuild it.

The name Vetlan is discussed in Perm toponymy studies, for instance by E. N. Polyakova, alongside Divy Kamen and Boldy. The rock is a protected landscape, and its neighbour one kilometre away is called Maly Vetlan; from that smaller rock the outlines of Vetlan and Kedrovets are seen. On Maly Vetlan's summit the Red Book peony Paeonia anomala grows in quantity.

The wooden stairway of about 700 steps built in 2003 was dismantled in spring 2016 after a fatal fall in January 2016, and there are no plans to rebuild it, so the summit is reached without it. The rock stands 8 km upstream from Krasnovishersk on the Vishera; the river at its foot lies at 121.4 m above sea level.

About 1 km from Vetlan stands Maly Vetlan, a rock whose caves have drawn archaeological and palaeontological study; its sedimentary layers hold numerous fossils of ancient animals. Its summit is covered with the Paeonia anomala peony, listed in the Red Book of Perm Oblast. From Maly Vetlan you can see Vetlan and Kedrovets.
