Reis med bil til Hjelle, og ta en rask titt på Hjellefossen før du begynner vandringen gjennom Utladalen til Vetti Gard og Vettisfossen, Norge’s høyeste beskyttede vassdrag. Dette er en lett og veldig fin tur med nydelig natur i Jotunheimen.
Opplev den eventyraktige og magiske Utladalen, en frodig dal med en herlig kombinasjon av planter, elver og fossefall, ikke funnet noe annet sted i Jotunheimen. Bo på den historiske gården, Vetti Gard, hvilket opprinnelse dateres tilbake til år 1120. Det sies at den engang var en korn-gård, men at etter svartedauen, som herjet i Norge mellom 1349 og 1654 og tok livet av halve befolkningen, ble gården forlatt. Som mange etterlatte gårder på den tiden, fikk den navnet Ødegård. I 1714, kom forfedrende til de nåværende eierne, Vetti-familien, til gården og den fikk nytt liv.
Fra Vetti gård kan man fortsette turen innover mot Vettisfossen, enten helt frem til Fossen eller ta turen turen opp til toppen og nyte utsikten over Utladalen.
