Ålesund

Welcome to Ålesund, the city that, more than any other, rose from the ashes to become one of Norway’s most beautiful destinations. Here, ocean and mountains meet — as do tradition and modernity, hard work and adventure. The city is famous for its unique Art Nouveau architecture, built after the great fire of 1904, and for its dramatic location on the edge of the sea, where fishermen, sailors, and traders have shaped its story for more than a century. Ålesund is also the gateway to the majestic Sunnmøre Alps and the grand fjords stretching deep into the country — places that tell stories of nature’s power and humanity’s ability to adapt to it. The journey from Geiranger to here has shown you just a glimpse of all that Sunnmøre holds — from mountain farms and summer pastures to fjords, commerce, and history. Thank you for joining us on this trip, and welcome to Ålesund – the city between ocean and mountains.
