The view of Ålesund from Fjellstua is unlike most viewpoints I have ever visited in Norway - mainly due to Ålesunds unique layout. You can drive or walk (it's steep!), but then refresh with the very charming restaurant with surprisingly good food and great service (did NOT feel like a tourist trap!) located at the top with huge windows overlooking the city. If you only have time for one thing to visit in the city, I would say this is the one.
The highlight of our tour was the ascent and the overlook from this viewpoints. We had a short time to admire the ocean and nature of this pretty Norwegian town.
You can either take the sightseeingtrain up or you can walk the 418 steps up and see the city all the way up. I prefer to walk up and get exercised at the same time. At the top you get an incredible nice view of the city and the ocean next to the city. The view is worth more than a million kr.
Great walk up, fantastic views! If it is cold you can warm up in the simple, but pleasant restaurant.
We twice went up here. The first time, from the hop on/off bus, and it rained, so we went back, on a drier day. But, even on a wet day, the views were so interesting and lovely, showing the islands on which Alesund is built. and the many other islands surrounding it. It just gives you an idea of the make-up of the western Norwegian coast. The number of steps could be a problem for the less fit but most definitely worth the effort. Would love to see the view again in the winter with the snow!
We rode a van all the way up to the viewpoint from the port where our cruise ship was docked. It was windy and there was a slight drizzle. The view of the city and the surrounding islands was spectacular. The observation deck had a restaurant should you want to have a meal and spend more time here.
