Stranda: Strandafjellet Ski Center
Among the mountain communities of Møre og Romsdal, Stranda stands out for Strandafjellet Ski Center, set in the Sunnmøre Alps above Storfjorden. This high-mountain resort spreads over broad, open slopes and ridgelines, while the fjord cuts through the steep terrain below toward the settled shoreline. Stranda belongs to Sunnmøre, a western Norwegian region where mountains rise sharply from deep inlets of the Norwegian Sea. The community has a more everyday claim to national recognition as well: it is associated with the production of Grandiosa, one of Norway’s best-known frozen pizzas. Together, ski infrastructure, mountain roads and the fjord setting give Strandafjellet a distinctly alpine character within a coastal county.
