We can taylor your perfect fjord ski holiday

The Sunnmøre mountains is one of Norways most classic areas for ski touring. The alpine peaks and proximity to the sea makes it one of the most stunning areas for ski touring in the world. Proximity to an airport with frequent flights to Oslo, and several European airports, makes it easy to get there. There are also one major ski resort, the Strandafjellet resort near the village Stranda, which makes it possible to combine lift based skiing with ski touring. There are peaks and trips for all levels of skill and experience. If you want to do ski mountaineering and climb the needles in Molladalen or do forest skiing in Bondalen, we can do it all.
