About Åndalsnes
Åndalsnes is a small town at the head of Romsdalsfjord in western Norway, below sheer peaks, and the start of the Trollstigen mountain road.
Åndalsnes lies at the head of the Romsdalsfjord, in Møre og Romsdal, where the Rauma River reaches the sea and steep mountains close in on every side. The Romsdalshorn, a sharp rock spire in the valley behind the town, draws climbers, and a cable car climbs from the centre to a viewpoint high above the fjord. Trollveggen, the Troll Wall, rises over a kilometre in a near-vertical face further up the valley, one of the tallest rock walls in Europe.
