Molde is defined by extraordinary geographical features: mountain ranges, valleys, fjords, open plains and unreal coastlines. The area is known for textile production. Much of these textiles are made from spinning raw wool fibres, cotton, linen and other materials into thread. These are then woven into beautiful garments which often have hand stitching added. The city consists of an idyllic township with quaint, colourful wooden houses, extensive gardens and parks, pavilions and esplanades. The luxurious hotels available often hosted the Prince of Wales in years past.
Thirty kilometres of hilly and mostly wooded recreational area, known as Moldemarka, lies north of Molde. It has fantastic hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. Long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs were created by historical glacial movement cutting U-shaped valleys which were then excavated into the V-shape by water drainage. Moldefjord is a 40-mile-long northern branch of Romsdalsfjord which is the ninth longest fjord in Norway.
Molde has a temperate climate with cool-to-warm summers and relatively mild winters. Due to its location, the region experiences frequent snowstorms.
