Torsetdalsfossen

Take Route 55 north from the town of Sogndalsfjøra to the town of Gaupne, and then turn left onto Route 604 (just before crossing the river), signed for Nigardsbreen and Jostedalsbreen National Park. Drive 12 km up the valley and watch for the falls on the right, across the river. There is a gravel road branching off to the left directly across from the falls which provides enough room to pull off at to view the falls (don’t block the road, it leads to several homes).As one travels up Jostedalen from Gaupne towards various entry points to Jostedalsbreen National Park several waterfalls will be encountered fluming down the various tributaries of the valley’s river. During the wet season several of these can appear quite significant but many are fueled primarily by precipitation and lose their substance during the dry season. One fall we found to be (likely) too significant to be largely temporary occurs along a stream called Morkateiggrøvene, directly across the valley from the small community of Alsmo.
The stream is fed by a dozen small lakes and tarns high up on the rim of the valley, dropping precipitously to meet the river at the valley floor. This waterfall accounts for approximately 590 meters (1,935 feet) of the drop into the valley, with the final 250 meters (approximately) of the drop being the most prominently visible portion of the falls. The entire 590 meter drop appears to be a single, non-vertical but unbroken cascading fall, which makes this one of the tallest single-drop waterfalls in Norway. However, because the falls are less than vertical, there is a significant degree of foreshortening levied against views from the valley floor, which renders the overall height of the falls difficult to appreciate. Additionally, due to the smaller drainage size, the falls should generally be regarded as much less significant. It's not known whether the stream runs dry during the late summer months, but it may be possible during drought like conditions (which are not common in western Norway).We have been able to find no record of names for this waterfall, but we've been told the most appropriate name would be Torsetdalsfossen, after the valley that the falls drain from.
