Håholmen is a tiny island off the coast of Averøy, near the Atlantic Road. It has been a klippfisk trading post since the early 1700s, when fishermen dried salted cod on these rocks and shipped it to southern Europe. Around 25 buildings survive from the 1700s and 1800s, largely unchanged.
The island operates today as a hotel and restaurant run by Classic Norway Hotels. You sleep in converted fishermen's cabins, eat seafood at Ytterbrygga, and can visit the small on-site museum about the klippfisk trade. The transfer from Geitøya takes about 7 minutes by boat. The season runs from May to September.
This is one of the best-preserved historic fishing stations on the Nordmøre coast, and the setting, a cluster of weathered timber buildings on bare rock in the open sea, is hard to match.
