Discover the life cycle of the wild salmon on a guided tour of the Wild Salmon Center. Experience the beautiful and powerful waterfall Kvåsfossen. Learn what is done to protect wild salmon and experience one of the longest fish ladders in Norway.

You might get the opportunity to see how the salmon navigate their way up the river through this impressive construction – a unique experience that showcases the power of nature and human innovation. Most visitors to the center will see and experience the salmon, but we cannot give a 100% guarantee that there will be fish present in the fish ladder, as nature decides that for itself.
