Western Norway is home to some of the nation's most picturesque natural marvels, including Hjørundfjord. Renowned for its dramatic scenery, Hjørundfjord spans an approximate distance of 35 kilometres (22 miles) and is surrounded by the snow-capped mountains of the Sunnmøre Alps. Hjørundfjord is considered to be Norway's 'hidden gem', as it is less frequented than some of the more popular fjords like Geirangerfjord. If you're seeking an off-the-beaten-track adventure into the heart of western Norway, this fjord cruise, bus tour, and cable car ride from Ålesund is calling your name!

The full-day excursion begins at the meeting point in Ålesund, where you and your group will be greeted by a seasoned Captain and guide.

En route, you can relax in one of the ship's lounges or take in the views from the outer deck. As an added convenience, the ship's bar sells light meals, snacks, and refreshments onboard (not included in the ticket price). After savouring the serenity of nature in Hjørundfjord and the majestic Sunnmøre Alps, you'll disembark in Øye, where the next part of the journey starts.

Once everyone has boarded the bus, you'll head into the magnificent Nordangsdal Valley, surrounded by the Sunnmøre Alps, en route to Mount Stranda. Throughout the fjord cruise, bus tour, and Mount Stranda cable car ride experience from Ålesund, the guide will share fascinating facts about nature, history, and local culture.
