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.
