Granni stands close to Háifoss in the Fossá river system of Þjórsárdalur. The two waterfalls create one of the area's most striking canyon views, with Granni providing a narrower companion fall beside the much taller Háifoss. The canyon rim is exposed, so visitors should use established viewpoints and remain well back from steep edges.

Granni is the smaller companion to Háifoss, which, at 122 meters, is one of Iceland's tallest waterfalls, making their dual descent a unique spectacle.
