The world's best destination!

The Geirangerfjord is so unique it has been included on UNESCO’s world heritage list. At the entrance to the fjord lies the Art Nouveau city of Ålesund, named Norway’s most beautiful city. The combination is unbeatable – and highlights are thick on the ground!

ACTIVITIES

Ski & winter

The meeting between mountain and fjord in the Alps of Sunnmøre and in Geiranger is equally spectacular in summer and winter. There is probably nowhere else in the world with this unique combination. The snow clad mountaintops, the sharp, clear winter air, the views and the nature experience refresh both body and soul! Explore Stranda Ski Resort, probably Scandinavien`s best powder area.

In Geiranger, Ålesund and the Sunnmøre region you will find a wide offer within arts, culture and entertainment. If you are interested in arts and handicrafts, this part of the country has a rich story to tell, special techniques and fascinating expressions in a blend of everyday life, history and legends.

Walking & hiking

The combination of fjords, mountains and the ocean is unique for this part of the world. You can climb all over Sunnmøre and within all levels of challenge!

Fishing & hunting

Getting a fish on the hook is an exciting experience no matter age! In Norway, fishing in the sea and fjords is free. In rivers and waters you will need a fishing permit, which can be locally purchased. Fishing for salmon, sea trout or char requires a state fishing licence, on sale at all post offices.
