Sjøholt
Sjøholt is best known within Møre og Romsdal for its setting at the head of Ørskogvika, a branch of Storfjorden. The settlement occupies a sheltered stretch of the fjord system, where wooded mountain slopes descend to the water and homes extend along the shore and lower hillsides. Sjøholt was the administrative centre of Ørskog municipality until Ørskog joined the enlarged Ålesund municipality in 2020. European route E39 runs through the settlement, reinforcing its role as a local service point for communities around Ørskogvika. Its setting reflects the everyday, inhabited side of Norway’s western fjords rather than a remote mountain outpost.

Its position on the E39 gives it a practical role in regional road travel, while local life remains closely connected to the fjord. The white wooden Sjøholt Church, consecrated in 1863, is a lasting reminder of the community’s nineteenth-century development.
