Hello everyone,

I am coming to Norway next week for my first time 🙂

My plan is to take 8 days to hike around the Hjørundfjorden , following more or less [this itinerary](https://ut.no/turforslag/118180/hjrundfjorden-rundt#10.85/62.2174/6.5395), and adding some peaks here and there depending on what the daily weather allows. I will be alone with my tent and backpack (I live in the Alps and I’m used to hike by myself in high mountains). I have some doubts that maybe some of you will help me clarify – I’ll pass by the tourist information point in Ålesund anyway when I land, but can be useful to know something in advance.

For the weather I found this website, would you consider it reliable? [https://www.yr.no/en](https://www.yr.no/en)

I see many rivers on the map, is the water drinkable without a filter? Is water difficult to find?

I found to groceries shops (Joker) one in Sæbø and one in Urke. Do you know if there are other places to get some food?

Do you know how is generally the mobile/internet coverage in the area? Should I expect 8 days without connection or is there just in some places or ?

Do you think there is anything that I should be especially aware of (maybe related to weather or other environmental conditions?). Maximum height I am planning to sleep with the tent is 800m.

Lastly, something I absolutely should not miss?

Thanks a lot to whoever will help me with some of these questions, have a nice day!
