Guided tours in the area
If you want to make sure you find the best spots to explore the stunning scenery and outdoor activities in the area, join a guided tour! In addition to Uteguiden, other tour operators, like Fjord Nature, Ræin and Offbeat Adventures also offer a range of guided tours in the area and activities for visitors of all ages and abilities.
Erlend, one of the guides from Uteguiden, took us snowshoeing and skiing at Strandafjellet.
“We aim to offer the best possible quality through having the best guides and the safest tours. We want to give people good experiences,” says Erlend.
Uteguiden is known for its experienced guides and tailor-made tours that cater to the needs and preferences of each individual group. With them, you can also go ski touring, snowboarding, hiking, climbing, rafting, coasteering and kayaking, from Ålesund to the Geirangerfjord and in many spots in the Sunnmøre Alps.
Although there are some periods that are a little quieter, he assures us they have activity all year round, because as Erlend says: “there is always something to do as long as you want to be active”.
“The busiest times in winter are in March and April, while high season during summer it's from June to August. But we have contacts all around, so we always try to find a solution if a guest wants a trip. Our base is at Sunnmøre, but we work throughout the Møre and Romsdal region, in addition to Hemsedal, Bergen and Sogn. My favourite is Valldal, that is located between Geiranger, Trollstigen and Åndalsnes.”
Do you need to bring your own equipment for the trip?
“No, we basically provide everything in terms of hardware, including skis, avalanche equipment, kayaks, snowshoes, sleeping bags, and tents. Even though we don't have a huge storage room full of clothes, we will try to fix something if a guest requests it.”
