Kjosfossen Waterfall

4
(1)
Kjosfossen Waterfall is one of the most famous natural highlights along the Flåmsbana train journey. The powerful waterfall cascades down steep mountain cliffs, creating a dramatic scene that captures the raw beauty of Norway’s fjord landscapes. During the summer season, the train briefly stops at Kjosfossen, allowing passengers to step out, take photographs, and feel the mist from the roaring water. This short stop is often a memorable moment for travelers.

What to See & Do
