It is located in the municipalities of Fjord, Stranda, Rauma, and Skjåk. The area takes its name from the village of Tafjord and the Tafjorden, the main entry point. The highest peaks are Puttegga at {{convert|1999|m}}, Karitinden at {{convert|1982|m}}, Tordsnose at {{convert|1975|m}}, and Høgstolen at {{convert|1953|m}}.
Lakes in the area include Tordsvatnet, Veltdalsvatnet, Zakariasdammen, and Grønvatnet. Part of the range is included inside Reinheimen National Park.
The Norwegian Trekking Association has the cabins called Reindalsseter, Pyttbua, Veltdalshytta, Vakkerstøylen, and Danskehytta. The western part of the area has since 1923 been extensively developed for hydro-electric power production by the Tafjord Kraft company.{{Cite web |last=Norwegian Trekking Association |title=Sunnmørs- og Tafjordfjella |url=http://www.turistforeningen.no/english/location.php?lo_id=NO_sunnm |access-date=2010-10-15}}
