The kingdom of waterfalls

Sunndal is home to some of the world's highest waterfalls, and it’s no wonder the area is called the kingdom of waterfalls. Vinnu, one of the world’s tallest waterfalls, plunges 845 meters down the mountainside in several stages, while the spectacular river gorge of Åmotan gathers five rivers in a natural phenomenon like no other. Here, you experience the forces of nature up close.

Innerdalen and Sunndalsfjella

Some places must be experienced to be understood – Innerdalen is one of them. Known as Norway’s most beautiful valley, it is one of the gateways to Trollheimen, with lush mountain pastures and the iconic Innerdalstårnet as its landmark. Stay at the charming Renndølsetra or DNT Innerdalshytta, where mountain folk have gathered for generations. In the Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, where Møre og Romsdal, Trøndelag, and Innlandet meet, you will find over 200 glaciers, untouched mountain lakes, and abundant wildlife. Experience the mountain farm life in Grøvudalen and the historic tourist cabin, Vangshaugen.

For ski enthusiasts, Sunndalsfjella is a paradise for summit tours. With peaks rising from sea level to over 1800 meters, long descents and varied terrain await both beginners and experienced skiers.

Experience Aursjøveien

Sunndalsøra, surrounded by mountain peaks over 1700 meters high, is the perfect base for spectacular nature experiences. From here, Aursjøveien begins – a raw and spectacular mountain road that winds its way from Sunndalsøra to Eikesdal through wild valleys and high mountains. The landscape shifts from lush and green to barren and rugged, and the view will take your breath away.
