Ski touring in Sunnmøre
and Hjørundfjord

Per Eivind didn't have to go far to pursue his passion for ski touring:

"Far up in the north-west of Norway lies Sunnmøre, with countless mountains and breathtaking nature. I feel very privileged to live in this part of the world, and very fortunate and humble to have such a vast variety of hikes to choose from, and only a short distance from my hometown, the beautiful city of Ålesund", he explains.

Norway is an incredible place to explore, with untamed mythical landscapes, mountains, valleys, and fjords. Before you enter the outdoors, get familiar with the nine simple rules of the Norwegian mountain code to help you stay safe.
