Mardalsfossen is an impressive waterfall located in the Mardalen valley in the municipality of Nesset, in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. With a total height of approximately 705 meters (2,313 feet), Mardalsfossen is one of the highest waterfalls in Norway and in Europe, offering visitors a breathtaking display of nature's power and beauty against the backdrop of the stunning Norwegian landscape.

The waterfall is fed by the Mardalselva river, which originates from the Mardalsvatnet lake, and cascades down a steep and rugged cliff face, creating a series of impressive free-falling and cascading water streams that merge into a single powerful waterfall as they reach the base of the valley. The sheer height and volume of water flowing over Mardalsfossen create a mesmerizing spectacle that can be seen and admired from various viewpoints along the valley and from the hiking trails that lead to the base of the waterfall.

One of the highlights of visiting Mardalsfossen is the scenic hike through the picturesque Mardalen valley, passing through lush forests, meadows, and rocky terrain, with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and the Mardalsvatnet lake, offering visitors a rewarding and exhilarating outdoor experience as they make their way to the base of the waterfall.
