Tafjord: Kaldhusseter, Tafjordfjella
Tafjord occupies the inner end of Tafjorden in Møre og Romsdal, where the fjord narrows between steep mountains in western Norway. The small settlement lies within Fjord municipality, in a region shaped by deep watercourses and hydroelectric development. Its name is tied to the Tafjord landslide of 1934, when a rockfall into the fjord generated destructive waves; 40 people died in the disaster. Tafjord remains a quiet point between the fjord and the high valleys behind it, while Tafjorden connects the community with the wider Norddalsfjorden system.

Tafjord combines a quiet settlement at a fjord’s head with a long hydropower tradition in a way that reflects its geographic position deep within Møre og Romsdal. It occupies the innermost reach of Tafjorden, a branch of Storfjorden, where steep mountain slopes enclose a narrow corridor between the coast and the interior. Watercourses descending from the surrounding high ground have supported power production for generations, helping define the community’s working identity. Tafjord is also marked by the 1934 rockslide into the fjord, whose tsunami killed 40 people and remains one of Norway’s most consequential natural disasters.
