This is a “Travel like the locals” tour. The tours use public transport, i.e. regular buses, ferries and boats, but we have done the planning for you so that you can concentrate on enjoying your trip. You travel on your own - there is no guide or tour leader. On most of our tours you must change several times between different buses/ferries/boats, and it is up to you to make sure you catch your connections – truly travelling like a local! (The tours are set up so that the buses, ferries and boats connect.)

Round trip to Molde Åndalsnes – Vestnes – Molde – Sølsnes – Åndalsnes

This trip takes you from Åndalsnes to Molde, a charming town beautifully situated by the fjord.

The town is famous for its view towards the “Molde Panorama”, the impressive row of mountains onhe other side of the fjord. Located between sea and mountains and with a short distance from the one to the other, you can explore the fjord, the town center and the mountains behind the town in a short time.

In the summer, the town lives up to its name “Town of roses”, and in July the famous Molde International Jazz Festival takes place.

From Åndalsnes, the bus goes along the Romsdalsfjord to Vestnes. From Vestnes you take a bus and ferry to Molde (the bus goes on the ferry) where you have plenty of time to explore the town on your own before the return to Åndalsnes by bus via Sølsnes.

Departure from: Åndalsnes railway/bus station, track 1
