Vartdalsfjorden, Fjord in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway

Vartdalsfjorden extends for 20 kilometers through Hareid, Ulstein, and Ørsta municipalities, connecting Storfjorden and Sulafjorden in the northeast region.

Between 1895 and 1964, the southern banks of Vartdalsfjorden formed part of the former Vartdal municipality before merging with Ørsta and Hjørundfjord.

The name Vartdalsfjorden derives from Norse language elements referring to a valley where fishing nets were traditionally cast into waters.

The Eiksund Tunnel provides road access across Vartdalsfjorden, connecting the municipalities on both shores for vehicle transportation.

The fjord reaches depths of 365 meters below sea level and contains the island of Eika within its waters.
