Hjørundfjord is a fjord in Sunnmøre traditional district of the western Norwegian county of Møre og Romsdal. Both sides of the fjord are heavily wooded, the result of the extensive rainfall on one of the world's wettest fjords.^{[citation needed]} The Hjørundfjord is surrounded by Sunnmørsalpene mountain ranges in the municipalities Ørsta and Sykkylven, with peaks reaching 1700 metres straight up from the fjord.
