DAY 1: ARRIVAL

You arrive at Molde Airport and continue to the historic Angvik Gamle Handelssted. Angvik is a little gem located by Tingvollfjorden on Nordmøre. Spend the afternoon at Angvik – why not relax in the spa and bathhouse?

The hotel also has its own museum, offering insight into the incredible history of the Angvik family, and an art gallery where you can admire over 75 works by Tore Bjørn Skjølsvik.

Across the fjord from Angvik lies Tingvollost, a small and charming cheese dairy that produces some of the world’s finest cheeses. In 2016, their blue cheese, Kraftkar, won gold at the World Cheese Awards. At Tingvollost, you can visit the farm and meet the cows behind this award-winning cheese.

DAY 2: MOUSK OX SAFARI

After breakfast, your private guide will pick you up for an exciting musk ox safari. The musk ox is not dangerous if left unprovoked, but unlike other wild animals, it does not always flee from humans. For this reason, we recommend a guided tour with Sigbjørn or another guide from Oppdal Safari. A respectful distance from a musk ox is 200 meters.

During the safari, there are also opportunities to see reindeer, moose, and Arctic foxes. The tour lasts approximately five hours.

Afterwards, you’ll be driven back to Angvik in time to enjoy a delicious 3-course dinner.

DAY 3: ATLANTIC ROAD

Next, you’ll drive along the spectacular Atlantic Road. In 2005, it was voted Norway’s construction of the century and is considered one of the most beautiful drives in the world. From the parking area at Geitøya, you’ll be picked up by the Viking ship Kvitserk and sail across to Håholmen.

Håholmen is a protected fishing village from the 18th century. The buildings have been carefully preserved and partially restored, offering authentic rooms and facilities with modern comfort.

The afternoon is at your leisure. Perhaps try your hand at fishing before dinner?
