About the experience
A 5 hours hike to the summit of Storhornet on Godøya island with great views over the Atlantic ocean and the Sunnmøre Alps.
Located on Godøya, an island outside Ålesund, Storhornet offers a beautiful hike combining maritime and alpine feelings. After a superb hike, you’ll get rewarded with a stunning 360° panorama over the Atlantic ocean, Ålesund & the Sunnmøre Alps.
We start hiking from Alnes lighthouse, a beautifully located lighthouse. After reaching the first ridge, we follow along the north side of Alnesvatnet. Before we the last push towards the summit we will take a short detour to Johan Skytt, a rock stretching out over the edge. From here we follow the trail up to the summit. While your enjoying a well deserved rest, soaking in the views, it will be easy to understand why this is one of our favorite hikes around Ålesund.
