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

December 10, 2021 Myesha Cogley

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.

I recommend one of the small boat tours to see it from all angles AND get up close. The small boat tours are cheaper and quicker if you want to do some hiking afterwards.

Gudbrandsjuvet

Reviewed By greattripsrw

A worthwhile stop! Our tour bus stopped here for a restroom break on the way to Trollstigen. In addition to the restroom buildings, there is a modern looking cafe with glass walls with great views of the ravine. Since Valldal is known for its berries I spotted small jars (TSA sized!) of jams for sale in the cafe including the famous cloudberry jam which was a great find! Unfortunately, I did not have time to try the delicious looking cinnamon buns. We walked the winding pathway through the ravine to view the rushing river below that formed very interesting rock formations. Each turn of the path offers different water views-some very deep areas, as well as shallower ones. Good photo area. At the end of the pathway, before boarding the bus, a vendor had containers of fresh local berries for sale. Tip: carry some local currency with you.

The boat tours will take you by all of the waterfalls in this fjord. This one is right across from the 7 Sisters.

Hellesyltfossen

Reviewed By janettek290

Thoroughly recommend the ferry ride from here and a walk around the fjord to the restored farmhouse at Kurla where I picked wild blueberries and raspberries. I also fished and watched the rain sweep in along the fjord . This beach at Hellesylt is very pretty with its retro changing sheds and apple trees giving shade. It one an award for Norway’s prettiest swimming beach last year. The vista is spectacular
