Storfjorden

We are now in the middle of the majestic Storfjord, a vast fjord that stretches deep into the Sunnmøre Alps, connecting villages, fjords, and island communities throughout the region. From here, you can see several key ferry routes that keep this rugged coastal network moving. To the south, ferries cross between Festøya and Solevågen – an essential link connecting Ørsta, Volda, and Ålesund. Looking east, you’ll spot Sykkylven and the ferry terminal at Magerholm, which connects Sykkylven with Skodje. In the opposite direction, ferries travel between Hareid and Sulesund, linking the island of Hareidlandet with the mainland. These ferries are more than just transport – they are lifelines woven into the fabric of everyday life. They carry people, cars, and stories across the fjords, just as they have for generations. On Sunnmøre, the fjord is still the road.
