The Most Beautiful Places in Møre og Romsdal
6 places · updated 13 October 2026
In short: By our ranking, the most beautiful places in Møre og Romsdal are Geirangerfjord, Seven Sisters (Geirangerfjord) and Dalsnibba. The list covers 6 places. Last updated 13 October 2026.
Møre og Romsdal is where Norway's fjord country meets the open Atlantic. Inland, glaciers cut deep valleys into ancient gneiss, leaving fjords walled by mountains that rise well over a thousand metres; on the coast, the land dissolves into skerries, islands and low headlands battered by storms. The combination of sheer relief and wild sea made this region a showcase of both nature and Norwegian road engineering.
Geirangerfjord, part of the West Norwegian Fjords World Heritage Site with Nærøyfjord, winds between steep cliffs dotted with abandoned farms clinging to ledges. Across its water, the Seven Sisters waterfall falls in several separate streams, facing a single fall opposite known as the Suitor. From Dalsnibba, a summit reached by road, the whole fjord and the village of Geiranger lie far below.
In Romsdalen, the Troll Wall is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe, a mountain wall dropping about a kilometre, notorious among climbers. Nearby, Trollstigen climbs a steep mountainside in a sequence of eleven hairpin bends past a waterfall. Out on the coast, Storseisundet Bridge is the curving centrepiece of the Atlantic Ocean Road, which hops between small islands; seen from certain angles, the bridge seems to end in mid-air.

01 Geirangerfjord
Norway62.094° N 7.081° E
- UNESCO World Heritage
Image by ArvidO from Pixabay The Geirangerfjord is a narrow blade of water, about 15 km long, cut into the mountains of Sunnmøre in western Norway. It branches off the Sunnylvsfjorden, itself an arm of the long Storfjorden, and ends at the small village of Geiranger, where the Geirangelva river runs into it.
Did you know? Skageflå, perched about 250 metres above the water, was farmed from the Middle Ages until 1916 and was once among the richest goat farms around Geiranger.
02 Seven Sisters (Geirangerfjord)
Norway62.107° N 7.094° E
Image by ELG21 from Pixabay Halfway along the Geirangerfjord, on its northern wall, a group of separate streams slides side by side down a cliff of bare rock into the water: the Seven Sisters, known locally as Knivsflåfossen.
Did you know? When the flow drops in late summer, the water gathers into fewer channels and sometimes only four of the seven sisters can be seen.
03 Dalsnibba
Norway62.049° N 7.269° E
Image by IK3 from Pixabay Dalsnibba is a mountain at the head of the Geiranger valley in western Norway, and from its summit at around 1,500 metres the view drops all the way down to the Geirangerfjord — a narrow blue arm of the sea wound between near-vertical walls, with the village of Geiranger small at the water's edge.
Did you know? The Nibbevegen was built just 3.5 metres wide, with ten bends whose tightest radius is only 6 metres.
04 Troll Wall
Norway62.482° N 7.729° E
Ximonic (Simo Räsänen) · CC BY-SA 3.0 The Troll Wall, Trollveggen in Norwegian, is the sheer north face of the Trolltindene massif in Romsdalen, in the county of Møre og Romsdal, and it is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe: about 1,100 m from the valley floor to its highest point. Near the top the summit ridge overhangs the base by roughly 50 m.
Did you know? The first winter ascent, in March 1974, took 13 days of climbing on the French Route.
05 Trollstigen
Norway62.457° N 7.673° E
Image by plutozoom from Pixabay Trollstigen, the "Troll's Ladder", is the stretch of County Road 63 that climbs out of the Isterdalen valley above Åndalsnes in western Norway.
Did you know? When it opened in 1936 the road was only three to four metres wide; today it measures roughly four to six metres.
06 Storseisundet Bridge
Norway · 31.2 km from Molde63.017° N 7.354° E
Image by Rob026 from Pixabay The Storseisundet Bridge lifts its deck high above a narrow sound, rising from low causeways laid across bare rocky skerries at the very edge of the ocean.
Did you know? More than ten car manufacturers have filmed commercials on the Atlantic Ocean Road, using its exposed sea crossings to stage rough weather.
How this list is ranked
Places are chosen for how they look, not for how famous they are: each one has its own description and a photograph credited to its author. The order is a single world ranking that weighs the beauty of the place in curated photography together with how widely it is documented — the number of language editions of its encyclopedia article and how often that article is read in a year. The list is rebuilt as places are added, so the order and the counts on this page are always current.
