Nice, albeit a bit narrow, stairs with great views of Ålesund and many resting opportunities along the way.

Up here, there are at least two bunkers (larger than one room) that can be explored. It's best to bring a good flashlight and wear proper footwear. There's sometimes a bit of water. Access is also possible for people of average build.

Unfortunately, the concrete steps began to freeze over and we stopped the climb to be on the safe side. Spikes under our shoes didn't help either.

There were a lot of steps, but the view was really great. If you want, you can also take the slow train (blue train) to the square.
