The 845 m (2,772 ft) tall tiered horsetail waterfall is located just east of the village of Sunndalsøra in the municipality of Sunndal in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The falls are part of the Vinnu river which flows down from the Vinnufjellet mountain and it is fed from the Vinnufonna glacier. The falls flow into the Driva river near the village of Hoelsand.
