62°Nord launches seasonal itineraries for immersive travel in Norway’s Sunnmøre region

Norwegian travel company 62°Nord has announced the launch of a new series of seasonal travel itineraries, named Journeys, beginning in summer 2025. Available throughout the year, the experiences are designed to offer in-depth exploration of the Sunnmøre region’s fjords and landscapes, with a focus on cultural and natural immersion rather than high-adrenaline activities. Each includes accommodation at three of 62°Nord’s boutique properties: Hotel Brosundet in Ålesund, Storfjord Hotel overlooking the fjord, and the historic Hotel Union Øye at the head of Norangsfjord.

The Journeys programme is divided into four seasonal themes: Culinary Discovery (in the autumn), Snow-Covered Peaks (for winter), Chasing Waterfalls (spring) and Fjord Exploration (summer), highlighting the unique characteristics of the region during that particular season.

The Culinary Discovery priced from £8,380 per person for six nights, focuses on the food traditions of Norway’s west coast. Travellers will forage with local experts, dine outdoors and experience meals prepared by regional chefs using local ingredients such as shellfish, game and wild herbs. Activities include fjord cruises and helicopter flights. According to 62°Nord, this itinerary offers “a rare chance to experience Norwegian culture through its elemental cuisine, framed by autumn mists and mountain air.”

The Snow-Covered Peaks offering, starting at £9,109 per person, is the only winter-focused journey. It combines ski touring and mountaineering in the Sunnmøre Alps with stays in boutique hotels. Guests will be guided across remote summits and ridgelines, with the option of helicopter access, and evenings are spent at the Storfjord Hotel or Hotel Union Øye, offering a contrast of wilderness adventure and indoor comfort.

For spring, Chasing Waterfalls, from £8,381 per person, centres on the region’s waterfalls at their most active. The six-night trip incorporates private fjord cruises, hikes and access to remote waterfalls, with helicopter transfers and gourmet meals thrown in. Finally, the summer Fjord Exploration involves an eight-day experience priced from £9,474 per person. Travellers will explore the fjords under the midnight sun and enjoy activities such as boat tours, helicopter excursions and alpine hikes, covering both the Hjørundfjord and Geirangerfjord, with a focus on natural scenery and local cuisine.
