Andalsnes may be a tiny village but it is surrounded by some of Norway's most spectacular fjords and mountains.

Trains and buses run regularly to this remote destination, with the rail journey one of the most scenic around.

Nature is the star attraction in Andalsnes, and the sole reason travellers come here.

The mountains are all named after chess pieces, such as the Bishop, and are laced with trails for summiting.

The Trollstigen is a mountain road and another major attraction in the area, climbing between Valldal Valley and Isterdalen Valley.

Europe's biggest overhanging cliff, Trollveggen, can be seen from the village.

While most of the people who come here are serious alpine athletes looking to rock climb, mountain climb and boat the rivers, casual visitors will also find plenty to inspire them in just by admiring the views, taking a few scenic drives and completing some easy valley hikes.

Andalsnes hotels are typically of the mountain lodge variety, so travellers hoping for luxury may be disappointed.
