The gateway to the Geirangerfjord

AES

Ålesund Airport

Serves the city directly and acts as a base for the Geirangerfjord and the Atlantic Road.

A town rebuilt after the 1904 fire

Ålesund is known for its Art Nouveau architecture, entirely rebuilt after the 1904 fire that destroyed the town. The viewpoint at Aksla, reached by a stairway from the center, is a classic for taking in the canals, islands and ornate facades in one glance.

Strolling the canals

The town also serves as a launch point for the Sunnmøre Alps and the surrounding fjords — walking along the Brosundet canal, lined with Art Nouveau buildings, pairs well with the climb up Aksla.

One of the most famous fjords in the world

The UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord impresses with sheer cliff walls, abandoned farms clinging to the mountainside and waterfalls — the Seven Sisters among them. The heavy cruise ship traffic calls for a thoughtful approach: choose lower-emission operators and transport where possible, and treat the fjord as more than a sight to tick off in a few minutes.

The Atlantic Road

The Atlantic Road links bridges, islets and open sea between the Kristiansund and Molde areas. It fits well into a road trip itinerary, but the weather can make it either spectacular or difficult — better to build in a time buffer than plan an overloaded day.
