Velkommen til Vettisriket, en skjult skatt der fjell-Norge møter fjordene.
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.

Reiserute
Agenda dag 1:
Vandretur: Hjelle - Vetti Gård
Vanskelighetsgrad: Lett
Tid: 1-2 time(r)
Avstand: 5 kilometer
Stigning: 160 meterVetti can be reached by foot or by horse-carriage from the nearby Hjelle farm to the south. The scenic route between Hjelle to Vetti Gård is well marked and is more like a well groomed road than the normal trails we are used to in Jotunheimen. Vetti is no longer regularly inhabited, but it is now used as a cafeteria and bed and breakfast for mountain hikers during summer months. During your hike you will be walking next to rivers and surrounded by mountain peaks, and passing several waterfalls. The hike is suitable for all ages and fitness level.

Vetti Gard Turiststasjon is a small mountain farm, rebuilt into a classical and historic hiking station. The facilities and rooms are simple, but well maintained in a traditional style. This is a perfect location to start or end your multi-day hike, or a great destination for a hike from Hjelle as a day tour.

Stigning: 500 meterVettisfossen is one of Norway's tallest waterfalls, and the 284th tallest in the world. Most people hike to the base of the waterfall for a view of Vettisfossen. It's also possible to hike to the top. The route and climb is longer than to the base. But while you are at Vetti Gård this is a great scenic hike to combine with any tour. On your way to the top you will get a great view of Vetti Gård and the surrounding area. Once you reach the top of the waterfall you will have a great view Utladalen. But be careful of moving too close to the edge, as there is a free fall for almost 300 meters down.
