Furneset: Vestnes ferjekai

About location

Furneset has served as a ferry terminal in Møre og Romsdal since the 20th century. On the south side of Moldefjorden, it forms the Vestnes end of the E39 ferry link to Molde, a key crossing in the Romsdalsfjord system. The terminal combines a working road interchange, quays and waiting areas with broad water and the steep, island-dotted coast typical of western Norway. Its role extends beyond this small settlement: E39 is Norway’s principal north–south coastal road. Across the fjord, Molde is associated with Moldejazz, the international jazz festival founded in 1961. Furneset introduces the transport links that bind the fjord communities of Romsdal.

City Furneset

Furneset sits on a fjord-lined stretch of coastline in Møre og Romsdal, where narrow inlets and wooded slopes meet the mountainous west of Norway. This is a small coastal locality rather than an urban centre, shaped by the close relationship between land, sea and the road links that join scattered communities. Throughout Møre og Romsdal, long fjord arms, island channels and mountain-backed shores define daily travel as much as the scenery. Fishing, coastal transport and farming have historically influenced settlement across the county, while larger towns provide regional services and cultural life.

Region Møre og Romsdal

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.

Country Norway

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. 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.
