Sula is Møre og Romsdal’s fjord-fringed island basin — a municipality where glassblowers shape molten art, factory outlets sparkle with wool and windproofs, and a golden holly branch crowns the coat of arms. With around 9,500 residents and a landscape shaped by the Sulafjorden, Langevåg, Mauseidvåg, and the island of Sula itself, this is the kind of place where you can hike past coastal churches, explore outlet villages, and still sip spruce tea beside a fjord swing. It’s got craft, commerce, and a name that may stem from *sól* — “sun.”

Getting There
Sula lies just south of Ålesund, connected by ferry and road via Solavågen and Langevåg. The area is best explored by boots, boat, or bold curiosity — especially if you’re chasing holly echoes, glassblowing lore, or the hush of pine needles beside a fjord swing.
