Aksla Stairs

Highlight • Trail

Highly recommended when there is little demand from tourists. There are over 400 steps and steep ramps, but almost every bend in the path has a small bench to rest on.

Aksla Viewpoint Stairs (418 Steps) – View of Ålesund

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

The pretty little town can be explored in half a day. It's also shocking to see that many of the commercial spaces are empty. Souvenir shops, however, are plentiful.
The view of Ålesund from Aksla was particularly beautiful.

May 22, 2022,🇳🇴🐕 Ålesund - Best Viewpoint

Another chance for Ålesund!
Today, with picture-perfect weather, Jake and I have chosen the most beautiful vantage point of the city and the fjord. For this we had to go through the old town again and when the sun is shining everything looks completely different! Nevertheless, it remains the case that the city is unfortunately neglected and run down in …

The rain in the mountains drives us back to the coast.
In Alesund there is just enough for a city tour and up the local mountain before it starts here too.
The Hurtigruten follow us along the entire route. We have often stayed the night with a view of the liner's pier. Here's a giant cruise ship.
Alesund is best …

February 28, 2025,Álesund: Vom Kai zum Hausberg und durch die Altstadt (Hurtigruten)

You have to use the stop in Álesund to stretch your legs and explore the city and the surrounding area.
The city, or rather the center, was rebuilt after a major fire in 1905. Much of it is in the Art Nouveau style. Well worth seeing.
The many steps are a way to warm up. It was very stormy today, …

May 23, 2025,Ålesund 🇳🇴 / Stadtrundgang und Aksla, mehr als 408 Stufen 😜

The red umbrella was on the move again – it had to come along, changeable weather 🌦️ was forecast 😉

All in all, a varied city tour past the magnificent, sometimes colorfully decorated Art Nouveau buildings of Ålesund.

A bit of a challenge, the climb up a narrow path with 408 steps to the Aksla viewpoint. You'll be rewarded with …
