Escape the Crowds – Ski Touring in the Hidden Sunnmøre Alps

Discover one of Norway’s best-kept ski touring secrets. While many skiers head to Lyngen or Lofoten, the Sunnmøre Alps offer the same dramatic fjords, deep powder, and steep alpine terrain — without the crowds.

Our 5-day ski touring adventure takes you deep into the hidden inner Sunnmøre Alps, where towering peaks rise straight from the fjords to over 1,500 meters above sea level. This region is home to some of Norway’s greatest vertical descents and receives around five meters of snowfall every year, creating exceptional conditions for ski touring throughout the season.

Whether you prefer scenic fjord touring, playful tree skiing, or challenging alpine objectives, the Sunnmøre Alps deliver unforgettable backcountry skiing for every experience level. Expect breathtaking ocean views, remote mountain landscapes, untouched snow, and a unique combination of gentle terrain and steep alpine lines.
