Grandfjaera: Molde ferjekai
Built around a sheltered harbour, Molde grew into the administrative centre of Møre og Romsdal. The city occupies the northern shore of the Romsdalsfjord on Norway’s west coast, where the E39 ferry route provides a sea crossing to Vestnes. Its waterfront combines the ferry quay and main road with compact residential streets, while the broader town faces the mountain country of Romsdal across the fjord. Molde is closely associated with the Moldejazz festival, founded in 1961, an annual meeting point for Norwegian and international performers. The harbour remains central to local transport and to Molde’s role as a regional service centre.

Stretching from the Norwegian Sea to deep fjords and rugged inland valleys, the county includes the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord and the dramatic Romsdalsfjord. Ålesund is known for its distinctive Art Nouveau townscape, rebuilt after the fire of 1904, while Molde faces a broad sweep of fjord and mountains. Fishing, shipbuilding and maritime travel remain central to local life, alongside farming in sheltered coastal and valley communities. The Atlantic Ocean Road is another defining route, linking islands and skerries along the exposed coast. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Møre og Romsdal.
