More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A pale morning light lifts off Ålesund and the road pulls you toward the fjord. Your private minibus threads between spruce and granite, then opens onto a bowl of water carved by ice. Waterfalls dare the cliffs; green slopes shrug off clouds. At viewpoints like Flydalsjuvet and Eagle Road the fjord widens, and the mountains seem to push the horizon back.
