The Atlantic Road
Eight days around the Norwegian Scenic Route Atlanterhavsvegen: eight bridges hopping between skerries on Hustadvika, then Molde, Bud, and a quiet return through Romsdal. The road itself is only 36 km; the holiday is the weather walking over it and Tesla Superchargers in Kristiansund and Molde between storms.
Season: Open all year. Winter spray can close the bridges for hours; summer brings coaches. No mountain pass, so EV range is easy if wind is not a full gale.

The road lifts and seems to fall into the sea. We charged in Averoy at 24 percent after lingering on Storseisundet in a squall.

A detour to the Rauma valley if Trollstigen is not the point of this trip. Recharge by the river, then back toward the coast.
