Sunndalsøra is an industrial town enclosed by high mountains at the mouth of the Driva. Up Sunndalen and in Øksendalen, Litldalen and Ålvundfjord, farming communities have a very different scale from the aluminium works by the fjord.
Large mountain areas lie within Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella and other protected areas. Heavy industry shares the municipality with extensive uplands, summer-farming valleys and walking country.
