Atlantic Road – Averøy

The Atlantic Road on Averøy is a spectacular coastal stretch that winds over a series of small islands and skerries via eight striking bridges, with the iconic Storseisund Bridge often featured in international travel photography. The drive closely follows the open Atlantic, showcasing Norway's rugged western coastline in its purest form – with waves crashing over the rocks during storms and calm days when the sea is mirror-like. The road's design ensures a constantly changing landscape, with every turn revealing new views of fjords, islets, and distant mountain ridges. Along the route, designated rest stops and viewpoints make it easy to pause and experience the nature up close. The area around the Atlantic Road is also known for excellent coastal fishing, where locals and visitors fish directly from the rocks or small boats. The combination of dramatic nature, innovative engineering, and the unique tranquility between sea and sky makes the Atlantic Road a one-of-a-kind experience – for drivers, photographers, and nature lovers alike.
