Larsnes – Beach, History and Vardevegen

Larsnes brings together a variety of travel experiences: Spend time by the water at the beach next to the ferry terminal, follow an old transport route along Vardevegen, and discover a piece of local history at Rønneberghuset. Culinary experiences are also among the options available locally. You can choose a holiday apartment or holiday home based on which of these aspects of Larsnes interests you most.

Beach and ferry terminal

The beach is next to the ferry terminal in Larsnes. Canoes can be borrowed there free of charge, so you can experience Larsnes from the water as well. There are tables and benches on the beach; the bathing house has a toilet and a shower. There is also a guest pier next to the beach at Larsnes brygge. The beach, canoes and pier offer different ways to enjoy a stay by the water, without requiring you to make any particular activity the focus of your trip.

The ferry terminal is also a transport hub for the islands. There are bus connections as well as AMBU, a passenger and ambulance boat serving the island population and other travellers heading there. If you would also like to take connections to the islands into account when planning your trip, this transport hub is a useful point of reference. The terminal’s location beside the beach brings together a specific place by the water and its transport function.

Vardevegen: an old transport route

Vardevegen is the old transport route between Hallebygda and Larsnes. The route can start at the Larsnes ferry terminal or at Sande Town Hall and leads to a covered rest stop with views of the sea near Halleosen. This describes two possible starting points and a specific destination. If you are interested in trails and the history of the connection between places, this offers a different focus from the beach: the experience is shaped not by borrowing a canoe, but by following an old transport route.

The covered rest stop with its sea views marks the destination of the described route. Vardevegen can therefore be included in your travel plans as a destination in its own right. When choosing holiday accommodation, what matters is which of the aspects of Larsnes mentioned here appeals to you most during your stay.

Rønneberghuset and the history of Larsnes

Rønneberghuset is a historic estate in Søre Sunnmøre. Built in 1879, it was the Rønneberg family’s main residence in Larsnes. Following extensive restoration, the house now presents itself in its original splendour. Its construction date, family history and restoration give the place a distinctive cultural significance. Unlike the beach and transport route, this experience centres on a historic house.

Today, Rønneberghuset operates as an event venue and serves homemade food made with local ingredients. If you are interested in historic houses and food with a regional connection, you can include this in your travel plans. Another annual event is held at Landsbyhuset Breidablik: Feel It puts on a dinner show there every year in Larsnes. Both offer culinary experiences, but they involve different venues and organisers.

Culinary packages

At Kråen Gard in Larsnes, bespoke packages combining culinary experiences and overnight stays are available. Alongside the historic event venue and dinner show, this offers another way to combine food and accommodation in a package. When planning your accommodation, the main consideration is whether you would like to book an overnight package of this kind or choose a holiday apartment separately.
