Domestic flight connections are good, with direct flights from the largest cities of Norway to Ålesund Airport Vigra and to Ørsta/Volda Airport Hovden. Direct flights to Copenhagen and Riga. Northbound and southbound coastal express Hurtigruten calls daily at Ålesund and Torvik by Fosnavåg, and during summer season you can join daily round trips between Ålesund and Geiranger. Good bus connections to/from most cities and towns in Norway. The train trip with Raumabanen is an experience in itself, from Åndalsnes the "Train Bus" takes you further on to Ålesund & Sunnmøre.

It is easy to travel around Sunnmøre. Along the coast and in the fjords, speed boats and ferries bring you litterally in all directions, binding the fjord- and coast district together. The popular bus TIMEkspressen brings you quickly once an hour between Kristiansund and Volda. Local bus companies connect most towns in the district. During weekends, the travel route should be planned thoroughly if you want to use public transport as your mean of locomotion, due to a more limited time schedule compared to week days.

Geiranger, Ålesund and Sunnmøre can offer a wide selection of car/taxi hire, for those who like flexibility and do not have their own car on the trip. In addition, a series of small and large boats can be hired - with or without skipper. If you want to experience Geiranger, Ålesund and Sunnmøre from the air - well, you can!
