This fjord is gorgeous, the narrowness of it with near sheer vertical snow capped mountains surrounding and cascading waterfalls makes it a picture perfect setting that is almost unbelievable. There are a few elevated viewing points that are ideal to make the most of the stunning scenery and capturing outstanding photos. A cruise on the fjord is well worthwhile to maximise the fjord in its entirety.
2. Gripruta
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 120 reviews
The round trip takes about 3,5 hours, with a guided tour at Grip. Grip has a long and stirring history so far back that the origin of the name is unknown. However we are certain that it was the abundance of fish in the sea surrounding these islands that lured the first inhabitants to Grip. Until 1964 Grip was the smallest municipality in Norway, but is today part of Kristiansund.

I've wanted to go to Grip for years, so this strange corona-summer gave me opportunity to go there. ???? I must say, it was magical. The boat trip, the history, the houses, the view, our great guide Kristine, her father, the stave church and at the end bacalao and svele! Wooooow, I loved it! This is a happening I will remember for sure. ????

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.
6. Geiranger Skywalk - Dalsnibba
Overall Ratings

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.

Kvalvik Fort is situated on Kvalvik, Frei. It is one of Norway's best preserved coastal fortifications from the Second World War. There was also a submarine station here during the war. The fort is still intact and many people spend a long time exploring the bunker, canons and other objects from the war. Through agreement with the cultural office, guided trips in various languages are offered. The area is maintained by the municipality in close cooperation with Kvalvik Fort's Friends. The fort has a beautiful location and is a great spot for fishing and barbecuing. The area is well adjusted for wheelchair users. Several information boards.

In the main building the fascinating exhibitions on archaeology and culture in the Sunnmore region will provide you with a unique insight into the life of the people who have inhabited this area for several thousand years. Take a look at the museum's vast boat collection too, including replicas of Viking ships. The beautiful area surrounding the museum is also excellent for walks.

This is a must for all tourists that are tired of the Art Noveu City and just want a walk in the forest, see old boat and house building techniques.. relax and feed the horses, birds and just enjoy the tranquility far from the buzzing city center. The museum has it all: A woodboat marina with modern boats, Viking boats and vast boat collection Houses and buildings from the middle ages to the early 20th century the museum also has a walk threw.. storie show from the stone agne up to recent times The 50acres with forest and the old houses is just perfect to take a stroll around, and there is also a beautiful stone church up the hill and a small farm with a colletion of birds, horses, donkeys and rabbits: Perfect for the young ones. If you still have time you can even move down to the historical place where they show you traces from the medieval times going to the medieval museum to see the excavations and the traces of old churches and port facilities. It´s just a fantastic place to be with the beautiful Sunnmørs Alps in the background and the lovely lake with all the old houses.

Fantastic drive. One of the greatest I have seen. Worth quite a detour. I assume this drive will be best in sunshine or in a storm. On a normal rainy day like we had it was ok. We could see the potential with different weather. Highly recommendable
