Averøya is an island on the mid-western coast of Norway, located in Møre og Romsdal county. The municipality Averøy is mainly formed by a relatively large main island, partly split up by a fjord, but there is also several small islands and islets in the north-west.

Many people describe Averøy as a "miniature of Norway" as all the landscape typical to Norway is represented here. The island is also famous for being one of the two municipalities connected by The Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien)

The Atlantic Road - The Atlantic Road

Introduction

Averøy has deep roots to the ocean. In the earlier times land was seen upon more as a barrier than a route of transportation. The boat has always been the preferred way of transport and this has clearly effected the settlements on the island and the surroundings. Until the 60s the island was divided into three municipalities. The island only got connected to the mainland as late as 1989.

Fishing and farming has always been the main industry here. Industry related to shipping and fish farming is also amongst the biggest industries on the island. The oil-related business in Kristiansund nearby has also become a large actor when it comes to labour.

Travel to Averøy

How to travel to Averøy by car

Situated on the coastline between Molde and Kristiansund, Averøy is reachable by the state road "Rv 64" running straight through it connecting the two earlier mentioned city's. In the west, towards Molde and the Rv 64 connects Averøy to the mainland as The Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien). In the northeast the Rv 64 dives into the ocean, as The Atlantic Ocean Tunnel, connecting the island to Kristiansund.

Travel by Bus

The two bus companies Nettbuss Møre and Eide Auto is cooperating and have routes passing through Averøy from both Kristiansund and Molde every one or two hours in the weekdays. In the weekends you can expect about three departures a day.

Transportation in Averøy

Your own vehicle or motorcycle is the best way to get around and travel at your own speed.

For bus options, look in the "Get in" section.

For additional information regarding public transportation in Møre og Romsdal, contact the public transport information "Trafikanten Møre og Romsdal" on the phone number 177.

Cycling is an excellent option for adventuring Averøy as primary streets on the island have no steep hills worthy of mentioning and the traffic is rather low. With all that said and the long distances make it hard to explore the entire island in, e.g., one day.
