Fosnavåg: Larsnes - Skitnevika
Larsnes combines the intimacy of a small island settlement with an outward-facing maritime setting in a way that reflects its position on Gurskøya in Møre og Romsdal. Skitnevika belongs to a deeply indented section of Norway’s western coast, where homes, quays and local boats meet broad coastal waters and low islands. The community lies in Sande municipality, on the Sunnmøre coast, a region shaped by fishing, seafaring and links between scattered islands. Larsnes functions as a local service centre and ferry point for surrounding island communities, while its shoreline retains the practical, lived-in character of a Norwegian coastal settlement. It is a place defined by everyday connections between harbour, homes and sea.
