About this place

Live Stream | Hellesylt Cruise Pier & Hellesyltfossen Waterfall, Sunnylvsfjorden, Norway. Guarding the western gateway to the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, the port village of Hellesylt provides one of Norway's most spectacular natural arrivals. The roaring Hellesyltfossen waterfall thunders straight through the center of the village, cascading over polished granite bedrock directly into the deep emerald waters of the fjord. As international cruise ships disembark passengers for alpine excursions, visitors take in the deafening mist from historic stone bridges and visit cozy harbor cafes for smoked mountain trout flatbreads, tender cured fenalår lamb, and warm spiced apple cake.
