Things to do in Møre og Romsdal, Western Norway: The Best Lookouts

December 8, 2021 Carley Gatson

The most northerly of the Western Fjord counties, More og Romsdal is a land of rich and rugged terrain, including steep mountains, rolling valleys, many islands, some of the country’s longest waterfalls and, of course, the deep fjords that make the area so famous. Geirangerfjord, one of Norway’s most visited fjords, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to the spectacular Brudesløret (Bride’s Veil) and De Syv Søstrene (The Seven Sisters) waterfalls. Picturesque Alesund is the county capital.

Geiranger Skywalk - Dalsnibba

Reviewed By angeleyes27 - Brigantine, United States

We took a Mt Dalsnibba moutain bus trip with Fjordservice to the top of this mountain, reasonably priced. The journey was beautiful as you started at the green fjord with waterfalls at Geiranger, through green pastures and waterfalls on this winding road, then through tundra with more and more snow until you got to the top of Mt. Dalsnibba with its snow covered rocky peaks. This road goes through some of Norway's best scenery. We were lucky to have a clear day, although the clouds rolled in while we were there. I was amazed at the skill of our driver as the steep road is too narrow in places for two vehicles to pass so one has to stop at the wider sections. I can't imagine driving this in bad weather. This skywalk was just opened in 2016 and provides a nice viewing platform for a panoramic view of the scenery around you. You can see down to our starting point in one place. Even in summer, there is some snow here. Part of it is a toll road. There is a nice gift shop at the top and picnic tables. Very cool. I liked passing Djupvatnet, a beautiful lake with a hotel.

Flydalsjuvet

Reviewed By 377alexandran

After a Geirangerfjord cruise you can drive south to reach Flydalajuvet. It has a tiny parking lot, so please be quick when you have taken some nice photos, so others also can park their car and enjoy the view as well. Flydalsjuvet wasn’t far from Geiranger. You can also walk to Flydalsjuvet from the Geiranger center and through the waterfall trail.

Varden Utsiktspunkt

Reviewed By michaelnY5756LF - Tel Aviv, Israel

We arrived to Kristiansund in the early evening and stopped here on the way to our hotel - 5 minutes away. You park the car in the street and go up a path - a few hundred meters to the top of the hill. The small Varden tower looks like a small lighthouse. You go up 2 short flight of steps and get a great view of all Kristiansund (built on 3 islands) and the ocean. It's free and well worth the visit if in the city.

Golleneset Lighthouse flashes welcome! A very short walk in easy terrain from the parking takes you to the open sea at the Lighthouse. You will be passing Kjemperøysa, a 17 m large burial mound, - 3500 years old. Perfect conditions to enjoy the sun and the sea. On a stormy day the sea is making salty sea foam in large quantities between the rocks. Be aware of the waves!
