This Charming Region Was Named Europe’s Most Overlooked Winter Getaway Destination

"A hilltop viewpoint reached by a hike that rewards visitors with sweeping panoramas of the town, nearby snow-capped peaks and dramatic fjords; it’s frequently recommended for breathtaking winter photography and an aerial perspective over the harbor and colorful streets below." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

2023/Jun, we drive from Kristiansund through Atlantic road cross several islands and did some stops and photo taking then arrive in Alesund. The second day we drive around city ,harbor and country side. Close noon time,we drive up to the top hill to enjoy the 360 degree view of beautiful Alesund sitting around by sea and cruise ships with her beautiful color houses. Later we enjoy lunch and wind in a restaurants beside sea and colorful houses, it may tell the spectaculars and specialties and beauty of Alesund.

A must do when in Ålesund. You get the classic view of the city. Most spectacular in a fine day but be careful on the steps in wet and stormy or icy conditions. My recommendation is to go up the stairs from Byparken (The town park) and the to come down the little used track that starts about 100m past the restaurant. It is much more peaceful and is more gently on the knees apart from the last steps.

Walked up the 418 steps to the view point - the café wasn’t open, but the view is free. Loads of great views and there are plenty of additional walks along the hillside to explore. The steps were great fun and passed quickly - quite easy to climb and some fun numbering keep you informed as you go. Well worth the climb.

Wonderful view across the islands, just a short walk from where the bus stops. The bus was a little expensive but it was a bit too far to walk from the cruise terminal. On the day we were there, some locals where handing out free hot chocolate (the best I’ve ever tasted) and hot dogs.

The views are amazing. We took the mini city train to get to the top. Easy and interesting, but that will get you just 15 minutes to look around at the viewpoint. We saw someone else arrive by taxi.

418 steps to the top, for brilliant views over Ålesund. Although you can get to the top also by land train. I’m not a lover of heights, and coming down the steps, with not always having a rail, or wall, on my side, for reassurance wasn’t very pleasant.

A very beautiful place and a must visit for great views of Alesund with a back drop of ocean. Looks spectacular on a clear sunny day. Easy 20 minute hike up from the starting point.

This a lovely area we did a tour from are Cruise ship we had a very small group which was much better due to some physical issues. I was unable to do the stairs up. The area was amazing beautiful scenery all around we had an excellent tour guide really made the experience. Better. The only negatives that I have in regards to this stop it’s the fact there is no toilet for at least 30 minutes and if you’re an older lady with any issues you’re screwed, it’s not very nice having to wait a long time for the toilet. The cafe At the top has been closed without really thinking through the effect it has on the local tourist coming into the area. Maybe they need to look at this for the seasonal times. I’d be happy to pay to have to use it when I was in need.
