Vetti (or Vetti Gard) is an old farm area in the Utladalen valley in the municipality of Årdal in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It located northeast of Øvre Årdal, along the Utla river and has likely been inhabited since 1120. From Vetti, there are two walking paths into the Utladalen Landscape Protection Area and the Jotunheimen National Park. One path goes to the waterfall Vettisfossen and the other one goes to old mountain farm, Vettismorki, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the north.
Vetti can be reached by foot or by horse-carriage from the nearby Hjelle farm, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the south. Vetti is no longer regularly inhabited, but it is now used as a cafeteria and bed and breakfast for mountain hikers during summer months.
