Alesund

The postcard-perfect port town of Alesund lies on Norway’s west coast, surrounded by the snowy Alps, turquoise fjords and a pretty archipelago. The town provides art-worthy scenes at every angle, with its brightly coloured patchwork of houses scattered along the quay backed by towering snowy peaks. The surrounding landscapes offer a massive array of adventures, including hiking, skiing, kayaking, sea kayaking and more.

Take a boat trip to Hjorundfjord, go night-skiing in the Sunnmore Alps, take the challenging Slogen hike or a tamer walk up to the Mount Aksla lookout for panoramic views. Alesund is filled with heritage architecture, particularly many vibrant art nouveau buildings, and is scattered with an array of fascinating museums to explore. Other highlights include a wonderful local culinary scene, a picturesque lighthouse, and numerous record shops.
