Aro: Årødalen
Årø has served as a rural district of Molde in Møre og Romsdal since the municipal amalgamation of 1964. Northeast of the town, Årødalen forms a low-lying corridor between wooded, rounded hills and the coast of Romsdalsfjord. County road Fv64 is the principal overland route here, running from Molde towards Elnesvågen and the communities farther north. Molde Airport, Årø, lies in the district, underlining its transport role within Romsdal. Molde received town privileges in 1742 and is now the administrative centre of Møre og Romsdal. Årø is markedly less urban, shaped by road junctions, open ground and forested slopes.

Møre og Romsdal has been a coastal crossroads in western Norway since the Viking Age. 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.

Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
