Combine unique skiing adventures with beautiful alpine mountains
and idyllic fjordscapes in Sunnmøre.
The Sunnmøre Alps offer jagged peaks rising as high as 1,700 metres above the Atlantic Sea, making the potential for summit-to-sea skiing immense, with the opportunity to ski down to the Hjørundfjord in one smooth descent.
The mountains are located just an hour’s drive from the beautiful Art Nouveau town of Ålesund, allowing visitors to enjoy the comfort of a vibrant town base. Ålesund Airport is well served with plenty of both international and domestic arrivals.
Best time to go ski touring?
The main ski touring season runs from February to early May, with routes available for both beginners and more experienced ski tourers.
For the best descents and snow conditions, join one of the sail-to-ski expeditions that depart regularly from the dock in the city centre. On-board, passengers can enjoy freshly prepared local cuisine whilst admiring the grand views. All expeditions are adjusted depending on the weather and local conditions.
Kolåstinden (1,432 metres) is the most frequented summit of the Sunnmøre Alps. Return either by the same route you ascended, or try the alternative via the glacier to Kvanndalen for an exceptional descent.
Alternatively, there is a great selection of accommodation options on land, whether you prefer traditional and charming hotels or would like something more modern. Two examples are the ornate 19th century Union Øye Hotel, which overlooks a rural valley, and the Juvet Landscape Hotel, which blends in with the surrounding nature.
Finally, if you are unlucky with the weather, the Stranda ski resort is a great alternative to ski touring. With 17 downhill runs, 15 kilometres of groomed tracks, a children’s area, a terrain park and outstanding off-piste opportunities, Stranda has challenges for skiers of every level.
Always find out about the avalanche risk before you set out. Read more about safety in the mountains here and about local conditions on varsom.no.
