Introducing Molde

Molde, hugging the shoreline at the wide mouth of Romsdalsfjorden, is well known as the ‘Town of Roses’ for its fertile soil, rich vegetation and mild climate. But the town’s chief claim to fame is its annual July jazz festival.

Modern Molde, though architecturally unexciting, is a pleasantly compact little place whose coastal landscapes recall New Zealand or Seattle’s Puget Sound. To test the comparison, drive or trek up to the Varden overlook, 400m above the town.
