Åheim

The landscape around Aheim, known locally as Åheim, is defined by a rugged coast where Vanylvsfjorden meets the Norwegian Sea, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. This village in Vanylven Municipality is closely associated with olivine, a green mineral mined in the area and used in industries ranging from refractories to agriculture. Near the coast, Kannesteinen is a wave-carved rock formation with a distinctive mushroom-like profile, illustrating the force of the Atlantic shoreline. Åheim is a useful point from which to understand the quieter southern reaches of Møre og Romsdal.
