The local economy is mainly based on agriculture, while there is some industry and a few service companies relating to tourism, transportation, and road safety. In addition there is an elementary school, kindergarten, and the small Innfjorden Chapel. Surrounding Innfjorden are 1200 to 1800 m tall peaks on the east, south, and west sides with Romsdal Fjord to the north. The area is frequented by mountain hikers and lately a lot of BASE jumpers have discovered the mountains around Innfjorden.
