Grand tour of Norway's fjords by electric Porsche

As you fly into Ålesund, the view from your window offers a tantalising preview of your adventure, with the shimmering fjords and dramatic peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps. Upon arrival, a driver will greet you and whisk you away to the Storfjord Hotel where you'll be welcomed with a cocktail at the Lavvu, a traditional Sami tent within the hotel's surrounding pine forest. Here you will have the chance to meet other guests and receive an explanation of some of the highlights of the trip ahead. Later, enjoy a sumptuous dinner beside a crackling fire, overlooking the fjord.

Marking the beginning of your adventure, embark on a journey north with the sleek, silent power of a state-of-the-art electric Porsche. Packed in your modern supercar is a Storfjord picnic basket brimming with the region's finest treasures – artisan cheeses, succulent meats, vibrant berries, and of course, celebratory champagne. Today's leisurely drive loops through some of Norway's most beautiful natural scenery, highlighted by the awe-inspiring Atlantic Road where you'll soar over the ocean, connecting island to island. Be sure to stop at the Svevestien trail, a path that floats above the terrain, offering breathtaking views of the open ocean – the perfect spot to pause and soak in the panorama. Then, on the return, feast your eyes on the majestic Sunnmøre peaks, a jagged horizon beckoning you deeper into their embrace. These magnificent summits will be your playground in the days to come, as your adventure unfolds into the heart of the fjords.

Witness the breathtaking fjords from a unique perspective today as you soar above them in a helicopter. The flight will offer a panoramic birds eye perspective as you take in the views of towering cliffs and emerald waters as they unfold beneath you. Back on ground level, your Porsche awaits, ready to continue on a scenic journey towards the legendary Troll Wall. As you journey deeper into the heart of the mountains, the dramatic Trollstigen road will reveal itself, a serpentine ribbon winding its way to the summit. Prepare for an exhilarating ascent through eighteen hairpin bends, each turn revealing a more awe-inspiring panorama than the last, culminating in one of Norway's most magnificent viewpoints. After several scenic stops, you'll descend into the verdant Valldal valley, a picturesque route that will lead you back towards the embrace of the fjord. A ferry crossing to Stranda offers a tantalising preview of the dramatic landscapes to come, where the fjords narrow and deepen, their waters reflecting the towering peaks that guard their shores. Your journey culminates at Union Øye, a historic royal retreat nestled at the very end of the valley.

After a delightful local breakfast, the quiet roads beckon westward, leading you away from the familiar embrace of the fjords. A picturesque drive along the coastline towards Stryn unfolds, offering the perfect opportunity for a leisurely lunch. From there, ascend the breathtaking Loen Skylift, where panoramic vistas of the vast North Atlantic await, a truly beautiful spectacle. As you journey further inland, the charming fjord hamlet of Geiranger draws closer. Board a waiting ferry for a voyage through what many consider the grandest of all fjords. Prepare to be captivated by cascading waterfalls plunging from towering mountaintops before disembarking at Hellesylt. Your journey continues through the magnificent Norangsdal valley, often hailed as the finest in Northern Europe before you arrive at the enchanting Union Øye, surrounded by jagged peaks and a short walk from the shores of Norangsfjord.

Setting off from the hotel, you'll trace a ribbon of road that meanders through a series of tunnels, forested hills and fjords before arriving in Ålesund, a city renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture, colourful streets, galleries and harbours. Be sure to allow ample time for this journey, not just for the drive itself, but for the numerous photo opportunities and moments of awe that will inevitably arise along this unforgettable route. In the heart of Ålesund, indulge in a delectable seafood lunch at the elegant Sjøbua, a fitting culinary finale before bidding farewell to your car. Your return to Storfjord will be a truly memorable experience: aboard the sleek and stylish MS Fjord Lilly, you'll glide effortlessly across the fjord's tranquil waters on this exclusive boat, savouring the scenery as you journey back to Storfjord.

Enjoy a final morning at leisure at the Storfjord Hotel. Should you feel a pull to explore, an experienced guide is available to lead you on a kayaking adventure through the serene Glomset bay. Alternatively, indulge in some well-deserved pampering at the hotel spa, where a rejuvenating massage and soothing sauna await. Your journey concludes with a private transfer to Ålesund airport in time for your flight back to the UK.
