The hiking and paddling tour will start in Ålesund town centre Monday at 9 am. From Ålesund we start sailing to Barstadvika by boat, which is the starting point for the hiking. If desired, we can make a stop at Solevågen to pick up people.

During the 5 days tour, you will be hiking some of the most popular peaks in the Sunnmøre Alps, with the mountain Slogen (1564 m.a.s.l) as a natural highlight. After 5 days hiking and paddling around the whole Hjørundfjord, you will end up in Hundeidvik where a boat will transport you on the return to Ålesund. Estimated time of arrival in Ålesund will be on Friday at 7pm.

Accommodation will be at hotel, cabins and Tourist Association mountain cabins, and there will be served 3 daily meals. Paddling by kayak will be in the Hjørundfjord area, and you will always be accompanied with a local guide and a boat (with your luggage). Each person will have their own kayak, but two person kayak will also be available if preferable.

Equipment and safety

Please follow these safety tips when you go hiking in Norway.

1. Be prepared
Be sufficiently experienced, fit and equipped for your intended trip.

2. Leave word of your route
Many cabins, hotels and other lodgings have tour notification boxes in which you may put a written notice of your planned route

3. Be weather-wise
You should always be alert to forecasts of bad weather, yet not rely completely on forecasts of good weather.

4. Be equipped for bad weather and frost
Always take a rucksack and proper mountain gear.

5. Learn from the locals
Local people can often tell you about avalanche trails, wind and snow conditions, and the safest routes.

6. Use a map and compass
Always have and know how to use a map and compass.

7. Do not go solo
If you venture out alone, there is nobody to give you first aid or notify a rescue service in an emergency.

8. Turn back in time - sensible retreat is no disgrace
If conditions deteriorate so much that you doubt you can attain your goal, turn around and return.

9. Conserve energy and build a snow shelter if necessary
The stronger the wind, the tougher the walking/skiing. Suit your speed to the weakest member of the party.
