Hiking Ålesund & The Sunnmore Alps
Think towering, snow-dusted peaks shooting straight up from deep blue fjords, and you’ve got the Sunnmøre Alps. This corner of Norway is all about drama — jagged ridgelines, mirror-like waters, and little fishing villages that feel like they’ve been plucked from a postcard.
We’ll spend our days hiking some of the best trails around Hjørundfjord and the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, paddling out in kayaks, and exploring tucked-away hamlets. The hikes here nail that perfect balance of “yep, I worked for it” and “wow, that view was so worth it.”

Hike & Kayak The Fjords
Our adventure kicks off (and wraps up) in Ålesund — a ridiculously pretty little city scattered across tiny islands in the Atlantic, with enough charm to make you want to stay forever.
From there, we dive headfirst into Norway’s wild beauty — epic ridge walks, mirror-like fjords, tumbling waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks as far as you can see. We’ll mix things up with two days of kayaking on two different fjords, slipping through glassy water with mountains towering above us.
The Norwegians don’t really do switchbacks, so be ready for some straight-up climbs — but trust us, every step pays off with views that’ll have you grinning at the top. Between hikes and paddles, we’ll cool off with fjord dips and unwind back at our gorgeous cabin right on the water’s edge. The perfect mix of adventure, fresh air, and proper downtime.
