Ooh and aah at the otherworldly beauty that lies along the Hjorundfjord; at 20-miles-long, the Hjorundfjord is considered one of the most magnificent yet lesser-known fjords in Norway. The cruise begins with a short walk to the sightseeing boat. Relax on board and marvel at the wonderful views of the rugged, skyscraping peaks of the Sunnmore Alps, with some rising up from the fjords to heights of up to 5,000 feet above sea level. Keep your eyes open for the image of the 'Trollman.' According to legend, the image of a troll was carved into one of the mountains by St. Olav when the two battled and one of Olav's arrows grazed his enemy. As you make your way back down the Hjorundfjord, you'll continue through Vegsundet and Borgundfjord and return to Alesund, where a short walk will take you back to the ship.
