Molde

Molde stretches along Norway's western coast, on the edge of the fjord bearing its name, with views of the snow-capped peaks of the Romsdal Alps. Nicknamed the city of roses in summer, it transforms in winter when the cold reveals a setting of white mountains and frozen lakes ideal for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snow hiking. The surrounding areas offer easy access to several ski resorts and alpine trails, while the forests around compose calm landscapes for outdoor activities. The city maintains an active cultural life during the cold season, with concerts and events linked to Norwegian traditions, enhancing its coastal setting surrounded by mountainous terrain.
