Sunnmøre Alps Ski Festival

Two skiers descend a snowy mountain with a fjord and village in the background.

Earn your turns

Each February, the Sunnmøre Alps are at their finest – long days, stable snow, and mountains that reward those willing to earn their turns. The Sunnmøre Ski Touring Festival gathers skiers of all levels at Union Øye for a few days in the hills, with everything that comes after a good day in the mountains.

Talks from figures who have spent their lives in the alpine. After-ski gatherings around the fire. An intimate concert in the barn. And throughout it all, the particular satisfaction of moving through a landscape this dramatic under your own power – which is, perhaps, what the Norwegians have always meant by friluftsliv.

Whether you are new to touring or have been skinning for years, the mountains above Øye have something to offer. The festival is built around the belief that the best mountain experiences happen in good company.
