Liabygda and Stranda

We’re now passing Liabygda, a beautiful fjord village where the Norddalsfjord meets the Storfjord. People here live close to nature, and many combine farming and small-scale industry with tourism and outdoor life. From the village, trails lead up toward Ansokhornet, a mountain with wonderful views over the Storfjord and the Sunnmøre Alps. On clear days, you can see all the way to Stranda and deep into the Tafjord mountains. It is exactly the kind of view that explains why this part of the country is called Fjord Norway. Down by the fjord, the ferry crosses to Stranda. It has been an important connection for decades, linking the villages together in much the same way the fjord always has.
