Molde – Fishing Village Bud and Atlantic Ocean Road

Nature & Coastal Highlights on Norway’s West Coast

This scenic round trip combines the beauty of the Romsdalsfjord with one of Europe’s most spectacular roads – the Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien). Discover the charm of Molde, enjoy wide panoramic views, and experience Norway’s unique coastal landscapes.

Molde – The City of Roses

Nestled between fjords and mountains, Molde is the picturesque capital of the Romsdal region. Thanks to its mild climate and fertile, sun-drenched hillsides, Molde is known as the Town of Roses. From here, enjoy magnificent views of the Romsdal Alps, whose snow-capped peaks create one of Norway’s most impressive panoramas.

The Atlantic Road – A Spectacular Coastal Route

A highlight of the tour is the world-famous Atlantic Road, an approximately eight-kilometre stretch crossing bridges, islands and skerries right along the open sea. Awarded Norway’s Construction of the Century, it is considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world.

Look forward to impressive photo stops with views of the ocean, cliffs – and with a bit of luck, seals or whales.

The Fishing Village of Bud– Maritime Charm

In the idyllic fishing village of Bud, you’ll experience authentic coastal culture. Colourful boathouses, sea views and the Bjørnsund Islands tell the story of Bud’s past as an important fishing and trading community.

Varden Viewpoint – Panorama to Finish

To round off the tour, enjoy a fantastic panoramic view from the Varden viewpoint (407 m above sea level) over Molde, the Romsdalsfjord, nearby islands and the Romsdal Alps – a picture-perfect ending to this memorable coastal tour.
