Eresfjorden

Eresfjorden extends 10 kilometers northward from the Eira River mouth, reaching widths of 2.5 kilometers as it joins the Langfjorden near Eidsvåg.

In 1756, a massive landslide from Tjellafjellet mountain generated three megatsunamis reaching 50 meters in height, causing 32 deaths and destroying 168 buildings.

The villages along Eresfjorden maintain traditional Norwegian fishing practices, contributing to local food production and economic sustainability throughout the region.

The fjord contains a modern harbor facility accommodating 33 small boats with additional features including a clubhouse and specialized areas for guest vessels.

National Geographic Adventure recognized the surrounding terrain of Eresfjorden as containing some of the most exceptional winter skiing conditions in the world.
