Oksenøya or Uksenøya is an

Ålesund Municipality.[1][2]

The island was originally part of the old

Skodje. After the 2020 local government reforms, the island is located entirely in the new Ålesund municipality. It is home to the villages of Spjelkavik, Myrland, Løvika and Valle.[3]

The European route E39 and European route E136 highways run across the island. The island is dominated by the large lake Brusdalsvatnet which covers 7.5 square kilometres (2.9 sq mi) on the northern part of the island and is used as a drinking water reservoir for the municipality (and city) of Ålesund.
