Day 1
Our meeting point is downtown Aalesund in Brosundet guest harbor. All our guests must be in the harbor Wednesday evening at 17-19:00. We set sail and head against the fjord already Wednesday night, that means we get more time in the mountains. The bunks have been prepared, and there are large and small towels on the berth. The cabins are very small, so please travel light with soft bags and not big suitcases :) Sailor and steward Tore makes us a good evening meal.
Day 2
The guide comes on board around 08:30 and we take a short briefing. Planned summit trip for the day is Nordre Sætretind, 1365 meters above sea level. Nordre Sætretind is the neighboring peak to the king, Kolåstinden, and this is a summit trip with great views and the best quality. All planned summit hikes will of course be continuously revised based on snow conditions and local weather forecasts. Safety will always comes first. After the summit hikes we sail to Sæbø. Dinner is served either while sailing or just after we are moored.
Day 3
Skårasalen is one of the best mountains for summit skitouring. Most skiers go up and down the same line, but since we sail, we can climb up from Sæbø and enjoy a never ending run all the way down to the fjord in Skår. This is a fantastic experience with a magnificent view of Hjørundfjord and the Sunnmøre alps. We set sail and cross the fjord to the old farm Christian gaard where we grab some beers and an excellent handcrafted burger made with meat from local deer.
Day 4
We sail from Sæbø to Urke, and we drive with van true the valley to Villa Nordangsdal. Blæja is a beautiful and quite easy skitour with amazing views and scenery. Bjæja is considered as a safe ski tour as the terrain is mostly under 30deg inclination. It is great for medium skiers and on days with higher avalanche risk. The view towards Hjørundfjorden from the summit is nothing short of spectacular looking into the heart of the Sunnmøre Alps. Since we sail you will ski all the way down to Viddal (no road) where the crew at Westland is waiting for you. We sail back to Sæbø and get ready to visit the beautiful courtyard and excellent food at Rekkedal guesthouse.
Day 5
We have already reached the last day and the last summit trip. Today we make a shorter trip to mount Fingeren. A short but sweet skitour from Standaleidet. Already from the road you can see the characteristic pointy shape which inspired its name, the finger. This is a north facing mountainside which has snow both early and late in the season. The guide drives you to Barstavik where we sail directly to Aalesund. We aim to be in Aalesund no later than 18:00 so everyone will catch their planes back home.
