Worth seeing

Geirangerfjord

Geirangerfjord

Listed as UNESCO World Heritage in 2005 together with the Nærøyfjord. Here you see the Seven Sisters waterfall (De syv søstrene) and farms clinging to the cliffs. The Dalsnibba viewpoint and the Eagle Road (Ørnevegen) give the best views.

Trollstigen (the Trolls' Ladder)

Trollstigen (the Trolls' Ladder)

A mountain road with eleven hairpin bends, opened in 1936, climbing above the Romsdal valley. Closed in winter: it usually opens in late May and closes in October — check vegvesen.no before you go.

Ålesund

Ålesund

Destroyed by fire in January 1904, the town was rebuilt within three years in the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style that gives it its unity. Climb the 418 steps up Mount Aksla for the view over the islands.

Runde, the bird island

Runde, the bird island

Off Ålesund, the southernmost of the country's large bird cliffs: tens of thousands of puffins nest here from April to August. It is reached by road, over bridges.

Åndalsnes, Trollveggen and Romsdalseggen

Åndalsnes, Trollveggen and Romsdalseggen

Trollveggen, the Troll Wall, is Europe's tallest vertical rock face, about 1,000 m. Above Åndalsnes, the Romsdalseggen ridge is one of the country's most famous hikes, and the Romsdalen gondola climbs Mount Nesaksla.

The Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsvegen)

The Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsvegen)

Eight kilometres of road hopping from island to island over eight bridges between Molde and Kristiansund, opened in 1989. Spectacular in stormy weather, when waves hit the bridges.
