About Uteguiden

Uteguiden is a professional guiding and outdoor activity company based in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. We offer unique nature experiences all year round, from peaceful kayaking tours through dramatic fjords to challenging mountain hikes and scenic summit adventures.

Our goal is simple: to give you unforgettable experiences – safely and responsibly.

Local knowledge makes the difference

Our guides know the mountains, fjords and weather conditions better than most. With strong local knowledge, high professional standards and a genuine passion for the outdoors, we make sure you get the best possible experience – tailored to your skills, interests and comfort level. For us, guiding is just as much about safety and quality as it is about joy, learning and personal achievement.

More than just a tour

When you join Uteguiden, you get more than an activity. You get:

  • Certified and experienced local guides
  • Small groups and personal attention
  • Local stories, nature knowledge and real engagement
  • Experiences adapted to the season, weather and participants

Our aim is for you to feel safe, welcome and inspired – whether it’s your first time exploring Norwegian nature or you are an experienced outdoor enthusiast.

Our history

Uteguiden was founded in 2012 by Oscar Almgren, with a clear ambition: to share the spectacular nature of Sunnmøre in a safe, professional and authentic way.

Since then, the company has grown in both size and range of activities, but our core values remain the same: quality, safety, local expertise and genuine nature experiences.

  • 2019 – We opened our own coffee bar Hygge on Stranda – an ultimate hangout with a license to serve alcohol. You can also join guided tours here, rent equipment, book tours, and much more here.
