Alesund

Ålesund and its surrounding areas are a popular destination for tourists in Norway. The town’s Art Nouveau architecture is a starting point for visitors to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Geirangerfjord, the bird sanctuary island of Runde, and the stunning snow-capped mountains of the Hjørundfjord and the Sunnmørsalpene.

These rugged mountains provide ample opportunities for an active holiday, with peaks almost 2,000 meters high rising straight from the sapphire blue fjords. The mountains are perfect for off-piste skiing and ski touring from February to June. For alpine and cross-country skiing, there are also gently sloping hills. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of fish in the fjords, lakes, and rivers. Ålesund is located across several islands stretching into the Atlantic Ocean, offering a picturesque setting. The town is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, rebuilt in 1904 after a devastating fire. Today, the city is the region’s cultural centre, hosting several festivals such as the Ålesund Theatre Festival, the Festival of New Norwegian Literature, the Norwegian Food Festival, Jugendfest, and the Trandal Country Festival, which showcase the city’s vibrant cultural scene.
