Brunstad: Strandafjellet
Tucked into the forested slopes of Strandafjellet, Brunstad is a place whose character is shaped by the highland crossing of county road Fv60. This part of Møre og Romsdal belongs to Sunnmøre, where steep terrain and fjord valleys govern settlement and travel. Fv60 is an important local connection across the mountain between communities on the region’s deeply indented coast; the road climbs through birch woodland and open, rocky ground on Strandafjellet. Brunstad is also associated with the Brunstad Conference Center, a large meeting venue on the shores of Storfjorden. Together, the pass and fjord shore express the contrast that defines this part of western Norway: compact coastal communities separated by substantial mountain terrain.
