The Voldsfjorden reaches a maximum depth of 697 metres (2,287 ft) below sea level, making it the deepest fjord in all of Sunnmøre. The fjord cuts into the mainland of Norway and it is surrounded by the Sunnmørsalpene mountains. The Dalsfjorden branches off the Voldsfjorden just south of the village of Lauvstad.

The main urban area along the fjord is the village of Volda, located on the east side of the fjord. The European route E39 highway runs along the shore of part of the fjord. There is a 3-stop ferry route that crosses the fjord from Lauvstad to Volda to Folkestad.
