Møre og Romsdal Fylke, Vanylven Kommune
Vanylven municipality marks the southwest corner of Møre og Romsdal county and the Sunnmøre region. Vanylven borders to Herøy, Sande and Volda in M&R, and Selje, Vågsøy and Eid in Sogn og Fjordane. The village of Fiskåbygd is the administrative centre.

Møre og Romsdal has a number of peninsulas. One may argue that Vanylven is located on one (without a common name) and that you find two peninsulas on the northern part of Vanylven. The fjords Dalsfjorden, Syvdsfjorden, Vanylvsfjorden and its stub Syltefjorden cut deep into the region.

Vanylven is also a distinct mountain region, but without the high and rugged mountains that are Sunnmøre's no. 1 characteristic. Only 5 peaks exceed 1000m elevation, and there are not many deep valleys. Except for the northwest corner, most of the Vanylven tops connect on higher ground. The mountains' primary factoris also reflect this - only 8 of 42 tops on this list have a primary factor exceeding 300m.
