About Us
The Atlantic-Road website proposes to support and encourage
an interest in the Atlantic Road on behalf of
the residents of the area.
Voted as one of the best road trips
in the road, take The Atlantic Road or Atlanterhavsveien,
one of the great road of Norway. Voted the Norwegian
Construction of the Century it remain unsurpassed as the greatest
Family Driving Outing in Europe!
Along the route are the famed eight bridges
over several small islands, including the
Storseisundet or "Bridge to
Nowhere" which makes it is a tourist attraction and a frequent
appearance on TV.
The locals know this as a great please to
go fishing and will welcome all visitors be they families on
a road trip or anglers.
The Atlantic-Road.Com is created to draw attention to and
provide information on this dramatic road trip which is
otherwise little known outside Norway.By providing an
English language introduction to the Atlantic Road or
Atlanterhavsveien, we provide a one stop information source.
Created for Norway and other countries to be able to share
information on the Atlantic Ocean road.
Hump back bridges including the world famous
Storseisundet are mentioned as well as nearby destinations
such as Molde.
Since 2012 Atlantic-road.com has offered to represent
the interests and welfare of stakeholders in the
Atlantic Road. It is planned that the site can be a
centre to share information about activities, business
development, promotion and marketing on the Road.
Atlantic-road.com aims to preserve, promote, improve and
facilitate businesses on the Atlantic Road.
If successful Atlantic-road.com will organize
promotional events for visitors and tourists to the
Atlantic Road, for example there is a proposal to have a
summer Human Powered Car event, as well as an
Environmental Walk.
These would be annual events intended to attract
interest from around the world, create publicity for the
vendors and businesses on the road and generally
create a more favorable business environment.
Stakeholders in the Atlantic Road including business
owners along the road, frequent visitors, and residents
and businesses in nearby villages, towns and cities.
They are all invited to be
associates of atlantic-road.com so that it can become a
more substantial force for the good of all. It is
planned that there should be 60 members to form an
Association and that this should include owners and
management of hotels, as well as nearby
attractions and facilities for visitors and tourists
such as restaurants.
Atlantic-road.com is a privately owned and managed
organization.
The intention has always been to encourage
involvement with people who are passionate about the
potential for Atlantic Road to become an international
tourists destination. Tourists, local residents as
well as shop owners and managers are invited to
participate.
When fully incorporated the proposed Association will
aim to:
- Study and improve the economic situation of
Atlantic Road, through the use of surveys and
targeted promotions and marketing.
- Promote healthy business practices in
conjunction with the Fjord and Norway Tourist Board.
- Motivate and encourage residents and management
to develop and manage the potential of the road.
- Be a point of contact to encourage new business
alliances and special cooperation between
stakeholders.
- Represent businesses on the street in
negotiations with Government.
