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.

The tourist office (71 22 16 22; www.visitandalsnes.com; 9am-6pm Mon-Sat, noon-6pm Sun mid-Jun–mid-Aug; 8am-3.30pm Mon-Fri rest-of-year) is at the train station. It has internet access (Nkr40 per 30 minutes) and rents bikes (Nkr50/170 per hour/day).
