Compared with the big resorts in the Alps, the ski lift systems in Sunnmørsalpene are small-scale. Sometimes, you can almost have the slopes to yourself – especially midweek.

If you prefer cross-country skiing, there are many great tracks to choose from. If you bring (or rent) ski touring equipment, there are completely untouched mountains where you can sometimes ski all the way from mountain summits down to the fjord.

A winter adventure in Sunnmøre should also include a visit to one of the towns in the region, or you can join a round trip to see the fjords and steep mountains covered in ice and snow.
