Rauma Municipality

An outdoor town surrounded by fjords and sheer cliffs, home to the Trollstigen, Troll Wall, and a scenic railway.

Rauma Municipality is located in Møre og Romsdal County, western Norway, with its administrative center, Åndalsnes, situated at the end of the Romsdalsfjord. The dramatic Trollstigen (Troll's Ladder) winds up the mountain, the Troll Wall (Trollveggen) is Europe's tallest vertical rock face, and the Romsdalseggen ridge trail and Rampestreken viewpoint offer breathtaking views of the fjord and valley. The Romsdalen Gondola provides easy access up the mountain, and the Norwegian Mountaineering Centre is perfect for learning about climbing culture. June to September is the best time to visit; Trollstigen is closed in winter. The gateway is taking the Rauma Railway from Dombås to Åndalsnes, or traveling overland from Molde Airport.
