Hellesylt, contrasts and history

In these majestic surroundings, where mountains plunge into the fjord and light dances across the landscape, you’ll find Hellesylt – a village full of contrasts and history. At the heart of it all, the powerful Hellesylt Waterfall crashes down between the houses, a natural landmark for everyone arriving by boat or car. In earlier times, life here revolved around farming, fishing, and fjord transport. Today, Hellesylt is a key crossroads, with roads leading to Stryn, Ørsta, and Stranda, and a ferry connection onward to Geiranger. Tourists have been coming here for more than a century. While cameras and clothing have changed, the desire remains the same – to experience the force of the waterfall, the calm of the mountains, and the beauty of nature.
