Aspøya is an island in the municipality of Tingvoll in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located between the Freifjorden and the Tingvollfjorden. The highway E39 crosses Aspøya and connects it to the nearby island of Bergsøya to the west by the Bergsøysund Bridge–part of the Krifast system.
The highest point on the 20-square-kilometre (7.7 sq mi) island is the 372-metre (1,220 ft) mountain Vettafjellet. While often considered an island, it is technically a peninsula that is connected by a tiny 100-metre (330 ft) wide Nålsundeidet isthmus of land, which was excavated in 1905 to provide a small canal for boats to travel through.[1]
