Romsdalen Valley, Norway

We already know how stunning Norway and its northern lights are; the breathtaking valleys of the nation are merely the cherry on top. Romsdalen Valley is traversed by a serene and lovely river, and it is encircled on all sides by formidable mountain ranges. These mountains can reach heights of 1,500 meters.

One of the most photographed natural scenes in the country is the view of this beautifully wild valley with a vegetated floor within the long and narrow granite-walled gorge encompassing a foaming salmon-abundant Rauma River. The majestic mountains contain Trollveggen, Europe's tallest vertical overhanging rock face, at 1,000 meters. After passing through a 30-40 meter-deep gorge in the village of Verma, the river falls into the Slettafossen waterfall, which is surrounded by fences and has a bridge for a perfect view of the spectacle.

Mountain peaks like the 1,555 m-tall Romsdalshorn, Kongen, Dronningen, and Bispen can be seen across the valley. Scandinavian rock climbing originated in the Romsdal Mountains, home to some of the most difficult climbs in the world. A picnic area, a cafeteria, a gift shop, restrooms, a children's play area, and Trollveggen Beskssenter are all conveniently located by the E 136 road and offer breathtaking mountain views at the foot of the Trollveggen.
