Introducing Åndalsnes
There are two dramatic ways to approach Åndalsnes: by road through the Trollstigen pass or taking the spectacularly scenic Raumabanen, the rail route from Dombås, as it ploughs through a deeply cut glacial valley flanked by sheer walls and plummeting waterfalls. Badly bombed during WWII, the modern town, nestled beside Romsdalfjord, is nondescript, but the surrounding landscapes are magnificent.
