Romsdalsfjord

Romsdalsfjord is a fjord extending 94 kilometers through three municipalities in western Norway. The waterway divides into several branches, each offering different landscapes and access points to the surrounding mountains.

The island of Veøya within the fjord was a key trading hub in the 12th century, connecting settlements between Trondheim and Bergen. Its location made it central to commerce and communication along the Norwegian coast during medieval times.

The Norwegian Mountaineering Museum in Åndalsnes reflects how climbing has shaped the region's identity and connection to the surrounding peaks. Visitors can explore how these mountains have influenced local life and traditions over generations.

Ferry services connect Molde and Vestnes regularly, making it easy to cross the fjord. Hiking trails and viewpoints along the shoreline provide opportunities to experience the surrounding mountains from different vantage points.

The fjord system is home to 68 different marine species, reflecting its importance as a thriving ecosystem. This diversity makes it a rewarding destination for those interested in observing coastal wildlife.
