Åndalsnes

A landscape full of contrasts from steep mountain walls to broad fjords and everything in between! Åndalsnes is almost synonym with gorgeous panoramic views!

SJ / Åndalsnes

Both urban and rural, Åndalsnes is known as the Norwegian mountain peak capital, and it is precisely its nature and its mountains that attract visitors.

In fact nature has affected the city’s arcitecture to such a degree, that the main street was designed to point right at one of the most famous peaks: the Romsdalshorn.

Take Europe’s most beautiful train ride, the Rauma Railway, to Åndalsnes and visit this hidden gem.

EASY HIKES IN ÅNDALSNES

For those who much rather enjoy panoramic views without hassle, we suggest you try the Romsdalen Gondola. This gondola will take you to the top of Nesaksla in just 15 minutes! That way you don’t have to walk the Romsdalen stairs.

In addition to the famous viewpoint Rampestreken, you will find the Eggen Restaurant at the top. There you can enjoy a delicious meal with majestic views over some of the city’s most famous peaks: Romsdalshorn, Store Vengetind and Kirketaket – just spectacular!

An other alternative: walk up the Romsdal stairs! These man-made stone stairs will take you to the top of the Nesaksla in about 1,5-2 hours and you will pass by the famous viewpoint platform Rampestreken on your way up! A selfie on the Rampestreken, which is 537 above sea level, is almost mandatory!

ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ISCENIC HIKES

A hike at the Romsdalseggen grants spectacular views! Peaks, ridges and wild precipices have drawn mountaineers to the area for many years. This hike is however mostly reserved for experienced hikers, as it is about seven hours long and very steep. From the Romsdalseggen ridge, you also get a view of Romsdalen valley, with the Rauma river winding its way through the lush landscape out to the fjord and Åndalsnes. Some sections of this hike even require some light climbing, so make sure you have the right equipment with you!
