Molde Vacation Guide

The contrasts in its scenery and landscapes make the Molde region a highly varied area for outdoor pursuits. In the mountains, you can ramble on marked paths, go on long ski trips or go hunting for game animals and grouse. If you are a mountaineer, then Romsdalen is perfect for you. The rivers abound in salmon, sea trout and sea char. Along the coast you can catch cod, saithe, mackerel and other species of fish from the shore or a boat. If you are a thrill seeker, then Hustadvika is one of Norway's best locations for scuba diving.

From Molde you can visit some of Norway's best-known tourist attractions. On the Atlantic Road, you can drive over bridges, small islands and skerries right out at the ocean's edge. Venture up fjord arms to visit the dramatic scenery of the Eidesdalen valley and Mardalsfossen, the highest waterfall in Northern Europe. At Åndalsnes you can marvel at the Trollveggen, Europe's highest sheer mountain face and the Trollstigen tourist road, which twists and turns its way up the mountainside through 11 hairpin bends to an altitude of 858 m. Out at the coast are the idyllic fishing communities of Ona, Bjørnsund, Bud and Håholmen.
