Inner peace. Outer wildness.

Welcome to the contrasts. To roaring storms and gentle warm winds. To sheer mountains, deep blue fjords and calm coastal lines. Here, waterfalls lull you to sleep, and raw nature awakens your adventurous side. Here, distances are short – and the experiences? Anything but. Welcome to Møre og Romsdal. To inner peace and outer wildness.

A place for everyone. And everything.

In Møre & Romsdal you’ll find icons like Ålesund, Geiranger, Trollstigen and the Atlantic Road, to small coastal towns as Molde and Kristiansund, to hidden coves and peaceful gems you might just have all to yourself. Distances are short. It’s easy to go from one wow-moment to the next. This is where the coastline meets the fjords, the mountains and the small, picturesque towns and every moment becomes a memory.

“A string of mountain peaks, fjords, islands, towns, flavours, goosebumps, and unforgettable experiences”

A perfectly calm day

Start your morning with a coffee as the mist dances over the alpine mountains.

Breathe in on a silent kayak trip in quiet waters.

Sway in a hammock between green forest giants,

and be moved by world-class art.

When evening falls, let the warmth of the sauna and a good meal embrace

you in the fjord- or coast landscape.

A day of pure rawness

See the northern wind pull and tear in the landscape.

Watch powerful waves crash against the shore,

or let the river carry you forward with full force on a rafting trip.

Pedal your way up steep hills and race even steeper down,

before plunging into icy water that sends a rush through your whole body.

There are no filters in this place – only raw nature and real natural forces.
