This iconic zig-zag road goes by a few names: Atlanterhavsveien, Atlanterhavsvegen, or the Atlantic Ocean Road. It traverses Møre og Romsdal county, linking up an archipelago of skerries and small islands with the help of a handful of bridges.
Driving the Atlantic Ocean Road puts you practically right on the ocean – particularly if it’s storming at the time! If you’d rather walk and take in the scenery there are adjacent fishways built for that purpose – stroll their length or take in a spot of fishing while you’re at it.
An 8.3-km stretch, the Atlantic Ocean road is the perfect spot to pull up your campervan and take in some of the most breathtaking views in Norway.
