Villages and places
Midsund
With stunning nature, beautiful mountain peaks, and remarkable stone steps, this is the place for those who love nature, great experiences, delicious food, and friendly people.
Midsundtrappene
Midsund is surrounded by fjords, the sea, and majestic mountains. The mountain staircases Midsundtrappene attract thousands of tourists from near and far every year. The stone steps in Midsund have become a national attraction. Although the steps wind up through steep terrain, they make the ascent to the various peaks accessible for most people.
Cairns and Border
Findings of cairns and settlement sites indicate early habitation of the islands. In Bjørneremshelleren, discoveries suggest this was the first settlement in Romsdal.
From 1658-1660, the national border between Sweden and Denmark-Norway crossed Midøya, and here you can stay at the Riksgrensen Hammock Park.
