Sunmore Alps and Fjord Norway - Ski touring trip with private mountain guide:in
e.g.: 6 days, 5-8 participants, level 2
The Sunmore Alps rise out of the spectacular fjord landscape of Norway. Despite the supposedly low summit heights of just 2,000 m, the peaks are alpine and often glaciated. One of the best-of-lifetime ski tours is the one to the 1,953 m high Hogstolen. You climb from the Trollstigen pass road over mountain pastures and high valleys, finally over glaciers to the rocky summit. The descent is one of those that should never end and will put a smile on your face over more than 1,500 meters of altitude.
Or the crossing of the Skarasalen. This in turn is more of a Norway classic, as the descent from the 1,524 m high summit leads over exactly 1,524 meters in altitude to the banks of the Hjörundfjörd. And if you could wish for the best base for your dream tours, then it would surely be the Juvet Landscapshotell. Leave the world behind - is written on the homepage and is more than you can expect from a vacation or a ski touring trip.
The Sunmore Alps are relatively easy to reach from Germany. You can reach the tour area from Alesund airport in about 2 hours.

"The Sunmore Alps are less well-known than the Lyngen Alps. This has the great advantage that they are also much less crowded. Especially on the longer tours, you are often alone or only meet a few locals from the region. The peaks and the views of the fjords are more than spectacular..."
