Ørsta

Ørsta combines a compact fjord-town centre with a dramatic alpine setting in a way that reflects its position at the inner end of Ørstafjorden in Sunnmøre. The steep slopes of the Sunnmørsalpene rise around the settlement, linking daily life closely to the sea, shifting weather and mountain routes. Ørsta is also associated with Ivar Aasen, the linguist whose work helped establish Nynorsk as one of Norway’s written language forms; the Ivar Aasen Centre is in nearby Hovdebygda. Together with neighbouring Volda, the town is an important local hub for education, services and transport in southern Møre og Romsdal.
