Nørvasundet

Here at Nørvasundet, we find an area rich in history, knowledge, and culture. On this side of the strait lies the Norwegian Maritime Competence Center (NMK), along with the NTNU Ålesund campus, a key hub for education in technology, ocean industries, and innovation. Across the water, you’ll find Sunnmøre Museum, with its historic buildings, boat collection, and vivid storytelling of coastal traditions. Nearby are also the beautiful Borgund Church and the remains of Borgundkaupangen, a medieval town that was once an important trading center. Nørvasundet truly connects past and future in the heart of Ålesund.
