Descripción
The island of Runde has very steep bird cliffs and grassy plateaus. The cliffs are one of the most famous in Norway and full of birds. A gigantic number of Frailecillo Atlántico, skua's and a chance of spotting the Pigargo Europeo. Runde is one of a few places in Norway where the Págalo Grande breeds. Other birds you can see are Fulmar Boreal, Gaviota Tridáctila, Alcatraz Atlántico, Cormorán Moñudo, Alca Común, Arao Común, Mirlo Capiblanco and Collalba Gris. Best time to visit is when the birds breed: April through mid-August. But migration periods are good as well.

Accesso
The great advantage of Runde is the accessibility. The island is located just outside of Norway’s north-western coast, and there is a road leading there. Via road 653 it's possible to drive to the island. But parking is a bit more difficult. The hike to the top of the mountain is a bit strenuous, but once you're up there it's relatively easy. Marked paths will guide you around the island.
