Kvåsfossen med laksetrapp (waterfall with salmon stairs)

Kvåsfossen is a very powerful waterfall with tons of water running down the rapids at a fast rate of speed. From the walk bridge down, it is about 35 metres in a vertical drop. There is a path around the waterfall enabling visitors to get pictures from various angles.

There are many salmon in the river that cannot get to the top because of a large rock blocking the entrance. The local community including the Lista Region came together to build some concrete stairs so the salmon can by pass this rock. There is also a glass viewing area where visitors can watch the salmon as they pass by.
