The Sunmore Alps

Trekking in the dramatic Sunnmøre Alps offers an unforgettable adventure into Norway’s raw wilderness, where jagged alpine peaks rise directly from the glassy waters of iconic fjords like the Geirangerfjord and Hjørundfjord. Revered as a paradise for mountain enthusiasts, this region features sweeping ridge walks, crystal-clear glacial waters, and breathtaking coastal vistas around every turn. The area holds a legendary status in mountaineering history, largely established by William Cecil Slingsby—the “Father of Norwegian Mountaineering”—who pioneered countless routes and first ascents here in the late 19th century while exploring these unique fjord-to-summit landscapes. Following in Slingsby’s footsteps, modern trekkers can tackle historic paths like the Slingsby Route near Mount Kvitegga or ascend iconic peaks like Slogen, experiencing the same untamed beauty, deep fjord valleys, and thrilling summits that inspired the world’s earliest alpine explorers.

What have previous clients said?

This was a wonderful trip; the route, the location, the accommodation, the organisation, the company and most importantly the scenery were unbeatable. Rob and Sandy once again led a great trek, seamlessly navigating unforeseen circumstances with experience and good humour. I can’t wait for the next trip. Thank you!
