Sunndal has a wild and beautiful scenery with alpine mountains, fjords and several valley bottoms where Sunndalen is the main valley. At the beginning of the Sunndals fjord five peaks rises up to 1700 meters above sea level. One of these is Stor-Kalkjinn, which is northern Europe's highest mountain rising straight up from sea level, with its 1886 mamsl. The table below shows samples from Sunndal - wild and beautiful!

Trollheimen - Home of the Trolls
Trollheimen is a mountain range on the border between Nordmøre in Møre og Romsdal and Sør-Trøndelag. In the west, the mountains is of alpine character, while in the east the landscape is quieter.

Vinnufossen has its outspring from Vinnubreen glacier, which is Møre and Romsdals largest glacier, and cascades down the mountainside with a 860 meters drop in several steps. Vinnufossen can be experienced from a laybay on highway 70, just a few kilometers from Sunndalsøra towards Oppdal. By far the nicest view you get if you keep walking the path a few hundred meters further up the valley.
