PRIVATE TOURS IN ALESUND
Alesund Private Tours
Alesund burned down in 1904 and was rebuilt in three years, almost entirely in Art Nouveau - which is why a small fishing town has a centre worth a guided walk. It is also the closest port to Trollstigen and Geiranger, so one visit can hold a three-hour walk and a full mountain day.
- Walking routes in the Art Nouveau centre
- Full days reach Trollstigen, Geiranger or Briksdal
- Cruise calls use a separate shore route

Arriving in Alesund on a cruise call?
The town centre is walkable from the quay, so the Art Nouveau walk fits most calls. The mountain days are long and seasonal — send the ship and all-aboard time and we will tell you whether Trollstigen fits your window.

ROUTE CONTEXT
A town rebuilt in one style, on the edge of the fjords
The centre is compact and consistent; everything dramatic is a drive away.
The centre
Rebuilt in three years, and it shows in the consistency.
The detail
Towers, turrets and stone flowers on ordinary shopfronts.
The harbour
The working port never left the middle of town.
From Aksla
418 steps, or a short drive, for the view of the whole town.
