Norangsfjorden

Here at Lekneset, two fjords meet—Hjørundfjorden and its arm, Norangsfjorden—creating a dramatic and beautiful landscape surrounded by the mighty Sunnmøre Alps. The 35-kilometer-long Hjørundfjorden ends at the small village of Bjørke, nestled deep in the fjord. Norangsfjorden, on the other hand, is short and narrow, only a few kilometers long, but it leads inland to the village of Øye, where towering mountains rise steeply on both sides. From Lekneset, there is a ferry connection to Sæbø on the other side of the fjord. You can also follow the road along the fjord to Urke and Øye, and further over the mountains to Hellesylt or Stranda—a spectacular drive through Norangsdalen, one of Norway’s most dramatic valleys. Looking out over the fjord from here, you’ll understand why many say this is among the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer—where drama, tranquility, and grandeur all come together in a single view.
