About Molde

Located on the northern shore of the Romsdalsfjord, the Norwegian town of Molde is famous for its beautiful surroundings and spectacular panoramic views of over 220 snow-capped peaks. Small wooden houses, gardens, parks and avenues full of trees and flowers have earned it the nickname ‘town of roses’ - a name that is definitely well deserved.

Alongside mountains, valleys plunge down to rivers and fjords and finally out to sea. A devastating fire in 1916 means little trace is left of old Molde, but this tranquil town has not lost its sense of history. The nearby island fishing museum with its lovely pines and birches continues to tell the tale of the fjords fishermen and is well worth a trip.

Nearby you can drive over bridges, small islands and skerries right out to the oceans edge or venture up fjord arms to visit the dramatic scenery of the Eidesdalen valley and the waterfall at Mardalsfossen. And at Åndalsnes you can marvel at the mountain of Trollveggen and tread the twists and turns of the Trollstigen tourist road.
