Sunnmøre (English: South-Møre) is the southernmost traditional district of the western Norwegian county of Møre og Romsdal. Its main city is Ålesund. The region comprises the municipalities (Norwegian: kommunar) of Giske, Hareid, Herøy, Norddal, Sande, Skodje, Haram, Stordal, Stranda, Sula, Sykkylven, Ulstein, Vanylven, Volda, Ørskog, Ørsta, and Ålesund.
Though it is one of the three traditional districts in Møre og Romsdal, Sunnmøre is home to more than half the population of the county—with 130,601 of the 247,313 residents (53%). The district is made up of mainland as well as several large islands such as Gurskøy and Hareidlandet, plus many small islands.
While Sunnmøre has no formal administration, many national organizations chose to have separate divisions for Sunnmøre. For example, the Football Association of Norway has a separate Regional Association for Sunnmøre, separate from Nordmøre and Romsdal. This is also true for the national police.
All municipalities in Sunnmøre have adopted Nynorsk as their form of the Norwegian language, with the exception of Ålesund municipality, which has declared itself to be "neutral", though almost all of the education in Ålesund is conducted using Bokmål.
The Art Nouveau town of Ålesund could be taken right out of a fairytale. A myriad of turrets, spires and imaginative ornamentation is just waiting to bowl you over! The town's unique location at the edge of the ocean surrounded by legendary fjords, countless islands and towering mountains creates an almost unbeatable combination of culture and nature.

Traditional tune from Sunnmøre, Norway, after the folk musician and composer Karl Eidem ("Blinde-Karl"). Here's what Annbjørg Lien is saying in the beginning: "What my eyes didn't see, I got through the tones. Karl Eidem said this, a fabulous fiddler and composer from Sunnmøre. He was born blind and was therefore called Blind Karl. In his youth he travelled to the town Trondheim and attended a school for the blind, where he learned both playing the fiddle and a staff system. After returning to Sunnmøre he was the main force in boosting the traditional music at his home place." Recorded live in Hakadal church, north of Oslo, in 2002. Bukkene Bruse are: Arve Moen Bergset (vocal, hardingfele / Hardanger fiddle, fiddle/violin), Annbjørg Lien (hardingfele / Hardanger fiddle, nyckelharpa), Ste...

Himmelske Fader Denne salmen med tekst av Elias Blix og melodi av Volda-komponisten Sivert H. Geitvik, vart spelt inn med Sunnmøre kristelege mannskor i 1955 i Volda kirke, med Johan Sæter som dirigent, Randulf Saunes som solist og Georg Notøy ved orgelet. Innspelinga vart gitt ut på det prestisjetunge selskapet His Master's Voice og hadde ei utruleg fartstid i Ønskekonserten. Den gikk igjen nesten kvar mandag gjennom 50 og 60-tallet, og er idag på det næraste rekna som legendarisk. Svært mange menneske har tydelege og gode minner om denne songen.
