Plan your trip to Åndalsnes

Majestic mountains tower over deep valleys and rushing rivers. Åndalsnes is home to gems like Trollveggen, the Romsdalseggen ridge, and the Norwegian Scenic Route Geiranger-Trollstigen.

Famed for its high peaks and long mountaineering history, the city of Åndalsnes in the northern part of Fjord Norway is known as the alpine village by the fjord. The area has many peaks well suited for beginners, as well as more challenging routes for experienced hikers and climbers. In winter, swap your hiking boots for skis!

Climb the Romsdalsstigen via ferrata for breathtaking views. Or hike a trail, which was partly built by Nepalese Sherpas, that leads to the Rampestreken viewpoint.

The landscape also provides memorable road trips and train rides. Feel the thrill of making the 11 hairpin bends of Trollstigen or hop on the Rauma Line, named Europe’s most beautiful railway journey by Lonely Planet.

Rauma municipality is certified as a Sustainable Destination. Although this does not mean that the destination is completely sustainable, it has made a commitment to work systematically to reduce the negative effects of tourism, while strengthening its positive ripple effects.
