Six days across Sunnmøre
Day by day
An outline of what awaits – each day shaped around the fjords, the mountains, and the particular quality of light that only comes in a Norwegian summer.
Day 1 — Arrival
Land in Ålesund and settle into Brosundet, at the heart of the city's Art Nouveau quarter. An evening guided walk through the historic streets, followed by dinner at Apotekergata 5.
Day 2 — Into the Fjord
A cold plunge and wellness session to start the morning, then aboard a fjord cruise toward Hjørundfjord with a stop at the remote village of Trandal. The day ends at Union Øye – a historic royal hotel at the head of the valley.
Day 3 — On water, and into the valley
An e-bike ride through the valley in the morning, kayaking on the fjord in the afternoon. An evening with the sommelier, and dinner in the Conservatory.
Day 4 — Geirangerfjord
Transfer to Hellesylt as your luggage travels ahead to Storfjord. A cruise through UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, with a hike up to a traditional mountain farm along the way. Arrive at Storfjord as the evening light settles over the forest.
Day 5 — Into the mountains
A morning hike up Haugtua, followed by a helicopter flight over the fjords and peaks in the afternoon. Dinner at the fjord farm, Heimgar.
Day 6 — The bay and the Boathouse
A slow morning in the wellness facilities, then a guided kayak trip through Glomset bay. As evening falls, dinner in the boathouse – one of Storfjord's most atmospheric settings.
Day 7 — Departure
A leisurely morning before your transfer to the airport. The fjords below you as the plane lifts.
Accomodations
Where you'll stay
Brosundet sits at the heart of Ålesund's Art Nouveau quarter, with views across the sound and the city at its summer best. Union Øye is a 19th-century jewel at the head of the Norangfjord, its valley floor lush and green through the summer months. Storfjord Hotel is a timber-clad retreat above the fjord, where the long evenings are best spent on the terrace with a glass in hand. We know these properties intimately – their best rooms, their rhythms, and what makes each one worth the journey.
Eat and drink
Summer on a plate
Summer is when the fjords and fields give their most generously. Wild herbs line the mountain paths, the shellfish from the cold waters reach their peak, and the long days mean chefs can work with ingredients still warm from the ground. At each hotel, the kitchen follows the season – Nordic cuisine at its most alive. Dinner in Union Øye's historic Dining Room, an evening in the Conservatory, dinner at Heimgar, and a final night in the boathouse at Storfjord. Union Øye and Storfjord are both Michelin Key recipients and members of Relais & Châteaux.
