The most northerly of the Western Fjord counties, More og Romsdal is a land of rich and rugged terrain, including steep mountains, rolling valleys, many islands, some of the country’s longest waterfalls and, of course, the deep fjords that make the area so famous. Geirangerfjord, one of Norway’s most visited fjords, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to the spectacular Brudesløret (Bride’s Veil) and De Syv Søstrene (The Seven Sisters) waterfalls. Picturesque Alesund is the county capital.

This fjord is gorgeous, the narrowness of it with near sheer vertical snow capped mountains surrounding and cascading waterfalls makes it a picture perfect setting that is almost unbelievable. There are a few elevated viewing points that are ideal to make the most of the stunning scenery and capturing outstanding photos. A cruise on the fjord is well worthwhile to maximise the fjord in its entirety.

Romsdalseggen was a fantastic and rewarding hike with spectacular views. What sets Romsdalseggen apart from other hikes is that you get a fantastic view throughout most of the hike since you walk on the ridgeline for quite a long time. I would definitely reccommend this hike since it gives quite a unique experince with having to climb some of the steepest parts and also the views are the best i've seen in Norway. It is, however, worth it to note that for those who are not up to doing the whole hike it is also possible to climb the first 3-4 km where you get a fantastic view and return after to the parking in Vinjedalen. It is also possible to do the opposite - hike the path leading to Rampestreken and continue on but note that it is a much steeper path. The weather conditions should be considered. An overall extremely rewarding hike but bear in mind that it is a challenging one (ca 7-8 h if you stop often for pictures as we did) with a very steep descend which can cause your legs to tremble. The descend felt quite long too.
4. Gripruta
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 120 reviews
The round trip takes about 3,5 hours, with a guided tour at Grip. Grip has a long and stirring history so far back that the origin of the name is unknown. However we are certain that it was the abundance of fish in the sea surrounding these islands that lured the first inhabitants to Grip. Until 1964 Grip was the smallest municipality in Norway, but is today part of Kristiansund.

I've wanted to go to Grip for years, so this strange corona-summer gave me opportunity to go there. ???? I must say, it was magical. The boat trip, the history, the houses, the view, our great guide Kristine, her father, the stave church and at the end bacalao and svele! Wooooow, I loved it! This is a happening I will remember for sure. ????

The tour takes you through the beautiful Romsdalen to famous natural attractions like the Trollveggen cliff face and the Kylling bridge. The whole trip takes 1 hour and 40 minutes. At Dombas there are train connections to Oslo and Trondheim.

I recommend one of the small boat tours to see it from all angles AND get up close. The small boat tours are cheaper and quicker if you want to do some hiking afterwards.
7. Geiranger Skywalk - Dalsnibba

We took a Mt Dalsnibba moutain bus trip with Fjordservice to the top of this mountain, reasonably priced. The journey was beautiful as you started at the green fjord with waterfalls at Geiranger, through green pastures and waterfalls on this winding road, then through tundra with more and more snow until you got to the top of Mt. Dalsnibba with its snow covered rocky peaks. This road goes through some of Norway's best scenery. We were lucky to have a clear day, although the clouds rolled in while we were there. I was amazed at the skill of our driver as the steep road is too narrow in places for two vehicles to pass so one has to stop at the wider sections. I can't imagine driving this in bad weather. This skywalk was just opened in 2016 and provides a nice viewing platform for a panoramic view of the scenery around you. You can see down to our starting point in one place. Even in summer, there is some snow here. Part of it is a toll road. There is a nice gift shop at the top and picnic tables. Very cool. I liked passing Djupvatnet, a beautiful lake with a hotel.

Visit the open-air museum with its vast collection of old houses. Enjoy a stroll between the picturesque houses and the indoor exhibitions, and get an insight into the cultural and architectural history of Sunnmore. Sunnmore Museum is a beautiful open air museum with 55 old and distinct houses. While walking in between these houses you feel as if you are put back in time, and you will see how people lived in earlier times. On Wednesdays during summer, there are a lot of activities going on at the museum. In the main building the fascinating exhibitions on archaeology and culture in the Sunnmore region will provide you with a unique insight into the life of the people who have inhabited this area for several thousand years. Take a look at the museum's vast boat collection too, including replicas of Viking ships. The beautiful area surrounding the museum is also excellent for walks.

This is a must for all tourists that are tired of the Art Noveu City and just want a walk in the forest, see old boat and house building techniques.. relax and feed the horses, birds and just enjoy the tranquility far from the buzzing city center. The museum has it all: A woodboat marina with modern boats, Viking boats and vast boat collection Houses and buildings from the middle ages to the early 20th century the museum also has a walk threw.. storie show from the stone agne up to recent times The 50acres with forest and the old houses is just perfect to take a stroll around, and there is also a beautiful stone church up the hill and a small farm with a colletion of birds, horses, donkeys and rabbits: Perfect for the young ones. If you still have time you can even move down to the historical place where they show you traces from the medieval times going to the medieval museum to see the excavations and the traces of old churches and port facilities. It´s just a fantastic place to be with the beautiful Sunnmørs Alps in the background and the lovely lake with all the old houses. Buy the norwegian traditional svele or waffels, see if you can orrow a woodboat with the family and row around in the mini lake and see the horses rund on the hills by the church.

4.5 based on 184 reviews
From the Varden viewpoint (407 metres above sea level) there is a good view of the town of Molde, the fjord and islands and the famous Molde panorama with its 222 partially snow-clad peaks. On clear days you can see as far as the fishing village of Ona and the dreaded waters of Hustadvika. Ten minutes by car or an hour's walk along the nature trail from the centre of Molde. The Vardestua restaurant is at the top and marked trails take you into the Moldemarka countryside.

We drove up the mountain although if you like you can hike up, steep climb but plenty of places to rest. The view at the top is Spectacular on a clear day you may be able to see the 222 mountains peaks unfortunately our day was cloudy so we only got to see ( 111) Lol. No all jokes aside you will not be disappointed. At our visit the restaurant was closed so for toilet make your arrangements.
