Experience the dramatic beauty of Norway’s west coast on a guided bus tour with audio guide, starting from the charming town of Molde, the capital of the Romsdal region. This scenic journey combines breathtaking fjord views, iconic architecture, and authentic coastal landscapes — perfect for travelers who want to see the very best of Norway in comfort.

Molde – The Town of Roses by the Romsdalsfjord

Nestled between the Romsdalsfjord and the majestic Romsdal Alps, Molde is famous for its mild climate, lush rose gardens, and its nickname, the Town of Roses. Surrounded by 222 snow-capped mountain peaks, this peaceful coastal city provides a stunning starting point for your adventure.

As you leave Molde, the route takes you through scenic hillsides, past popular hiking and skiing areas, and along marble-streaked mountain ridges — a landscape that perfectly captures the essence of western Norway.

The Atlantic Road – A Masterpiece of Engineering and Nature

The highlight of the tour is the world-renowned Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien) — often called the world’s most beautiful drive. This spectacular coastal highway connects a series of small islands through elegant bridges and winding causeways that appear to float over the sea.

Named “Norway’s Construction of the Century” in 2005, the Atlantic Road is an unforgettable experience in all weather conditions. During a photo stop, you’ll have time to admire and capture the unique interplay of raw nature and human ingenuity — where crashing waves meet striking modern design.

The Hustadvika Coast – Wild Beauty and Coastal Heritage

The journey continues along the rugged Hustadvika Coast, a stretch of shoreline known for its dramatic cliffs, skerries, and sandy beaches. This section of the tour showcases Norway’s untamed coastal landscape — both beautiful and historically significant.

Here you pass the birthplace of the famous Jarlsberg cheese and one of Norway’s largest natural gas fields, connecting local culture, tradition, and industry with the country’s natural heritage.

Varden Viewpoint – The Perfect Panorama

Before returning to Molde, the tour ascends to the Varden Viewpoint, located 407 meters above sea level. From here, the panoramic view stretches across Molde, the fjord dotted with countless islands, and the snow-covered peaks of the Romsdal Alps.

This is the perfect opportunity to take unforgettable photos and enjoy a few quiet moments surrounded by Norway’s grand landscape.

A short panoramic drive through Molde completes the experience, offering another chance to see the city’s charming streets and fjordside views before returning to the harbor.
