==Geography== [[File:Giske beach.jpg|right|thumb|A beach in Giske on Giske island]] The municipality is composed of four main islands: [[Giske (island)|Giske]], which gives its name to the municipality because of its historical importance, [[Vigra (island)|Vigra]], which is where [[Ålesund Airport, Vigra|Ålesund's airport]] is located, [[Valderøya]], where the municipal administration is located, and [[Godøya]]. There are also many smaller islands within its boundaries. The [[Alnes Lighthouse]], [[Erkna Lighthouse]], and [[Storholmen lighthouse]] are all located on islands in the municipality. The highest point in the municipality is the {{convert|497.15|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Storhornet on the island of [[Godøya]].<ref name="elev" /> The main islands are all connected to the mainland of Norway by a network of tunnels and bridges. [[Godøy Tunnel]] connects [[Godøya]] to the island of [[Giske (island)|Giske]]. [[Giske Bridge]] connects the island of Giske and [[Valderøya]]. A [[causeway]] connects the island of [[Vigra (island)|Vigra]] and Valderøya. All islands are connected to Valderøya which is where the main [[Valderøy Tunnel]] connects the whole municipality to the island of [[Ellingsøya]] in [[Ålesund Municipality]]. Finally, the [[Ellingsøy Tunnel]] connects that island to the town of [[Ålesund]].
