Fjord

Fjord is Møre og Romsdal’s SEO experiment — a municipality named for the thing Norway has too many of, and proud of it. With around 2,500 residents and a landscape that includes UNESCO fjords, national parks, and a mountain called Puttegga (yes, really), Fjord is where nature goes full cinematic. It’s got waterfalls, serpentine roads, and a swing that made Trandal famous on Instagram. And if you’re wondering why it’s called “Fjord,” blame Google.

Getting There

Fjord’s main villages — Valldal, Stordal, Tafjord — are tucked between mountains and fjords. The Eidsdal–Linge ferry connects to the Trollstigen route, and buses run to Ålesund and Åndalsnes. The area is best explored by car, kayak, or sheer determination. Bonus: the name “Fjord” makes it impossible to Google, but unforgettable in person.
