THE WILD FJORDS OF THE SUNNMØRE ALPS MULTI-SPORT TRIP
The Wild Fjords of the Sunnmøre Alps Multi-Sport Adventure is an 6-day magical journey where we ride bicycles, paddle sea kayaks and hike from the Pearl of Art Nouveau perched on the shores of North Atlantic down Wild Arctic Fjords, staying at cozy inns, and dinning on local specialities. On route we will gain first-hand insight in the history and culture of a rugged mountain people and the fjords that connect them.
THE FJORDS OF THE SUNNMØRE ALPS
Wild Norwegian Fjords have cut their path through the granite and gneiss mountains of the Sunnmøre Alps, creating a surreal landscape that is both awe-inspiring and breathtaking. Formed like canyons with steep walls that begin 400 meters below the sea’s surface and then stretching over 1500 meters above.
This is an area of raw natural beauty with snow capped mountains, towering granite walls, thundering waterfalls, mountain ledge farms, flowering fruit trees, and quaint villages tucked into small protective bays. The fjords of Sunnmøre invite to adventure, their charming villages have hosted adventure travelers for generations. Deep in the fjords, where the mountains finally block the sea from penetrating further westward; thundering waterfalls rush down granite walls that climb up 1500m marking the entrance to the famous Jotunheimen Mountain Range.
Our itinerary is a true multi-sport journey; depending on the weather and sea conditions it ranges from an easy to moderate trip rating. The journey begins in Ålesund, where we explore the intricies of this Art Nouveau city before heading into the wild fjords of the Sunnmøre Alps to further explore this magnificent playground. Daily distances range from 10 – 50 miles per day and can easily be customized to suit everyone’s desired level.
