The river has its origin in the Hardangervidda . The Usta from the lake Ustevatn and the Holselva from the lake Strandavatnet unite to the west of the lake Strandfjorden to form the Hallingdalselva. This first flows through the Strandfjorden, then flows in a north-easterly direction to Gol , then turns to the south-east and flows through the Hallingdal valley . South of Nesbyen , the river has some of its widest passages. The Brommafjorden is one of these river sections. The Hallingdalselva flows into Lake Krøderen near Gulsvik . After the outflow from the Krøderen, the river is called Snarumselva . Finally, the flow combined with the Drammenselva , then at Drammen in the Skagerrak lead to.
A number of rivers flow into the Hallingdalselva. These include the Votna , Lya (river) , Hemsil , Todøla and Rukkedøla . Above Gol is the greatest incline of the river. The municipality of Oslo operates some hydropower plants there .
