We start from Sæbø and drive inland through the valley and pass the local ski resort before lunch. You will visit the Sunnmøre Alps at Standaleidet, where you will "taste" the fresh mountain air in wild and beautiful surroundings. A serpentine road then takes you down to the fjord, and after a while you arrive at the old Stavset boarding school - the only one of its kind in Southern Norway. Risk of avalanches made it too dangerous for the children to walk to school, and sometimes they were blocked there for weeks. From Ytre-Standal a boat will take you back to Sæbø.
