Explore the Hjørundfjord, one of Norway's most beautiful and least-visited fjords, by boat and on foot, sailing into the heart of the Sunnmøre Alps.

Highlights

Embark on a boat trip in the spectacular Hjørundfjord

Visit one of the oldest authentic farms in the region

Enjoy a delicious lunch made with local ingredients

How it works

We start with a boat ride across the fjord to the small village of Viddal, where our bus will be waiting. After a short drive we arrive at Bjørke, a pretty village located at the tip of the Hjørundfjord. Here we find Bakketunet, a beautifully preserved 16th-century farm home to a complete set of authentic farm buildings. This is an extremely rare find in Norway. There will of course be a guided tour, but also art exhibitions and culinary surprises.

After lunch, we continue to the wild and narrow Norangsdalen Valley, making several photo stops along the way at various shielings (old farms). At Øye, we reach the other branch of the Hjørundfjord, the Norangsfjord, and from here we drive out to Lekneset to catch the ferry back to Sæbø.

Each of our excursions has a rating to illustrate the level of fitness required. There are four categories, with 1 being the easiest and 4 the most difficult.

Level 1 = Easy: suitable for most

Excursions at this level are physically undemanding and suitable for most people. Level 2 = Moderate: some mobility needed

Excursions in this category involve a small amount of physical activity, but on easy terrain with few major challenges. Level 3 = Active: good mobility needed

Excursions in this category are more active and involve outdoor pursuits that require a decent level of fitness. You may be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. They are not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed 

These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment. You would be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. Excursions in this category are not suitable for those with limited mobility. 

Prices can vary depending on the season you travel. Costs such as exchange rates and local prices may change from year to year, so we show a “starting from” price as a guide. The exact price will be confirmed when you book.
