Excursion Ålesund by trolley: art nouveau charm & panoramic views tour at Alesund

Begin your journey by boarding the charming trolley train at the pier and setting off on a scenic ride through the heart of Ålesund. The route winds through the city’s narrow streets lined with elegant Art Nouveau architecture, then continues east past the historic wooden houses that remarkably survived the great city fire.

Mount Aksla Views and Refreshments

As the trolley climbs toward Mount Aksla, you’ll pass notable landmarks such as Voldsdalen Church and the city’s stadium. At the summit, enjoy a 40-minute pause to savor a coffee break while taking in the breathtaking panorama of Ålesund, its surrounding archipelago, and the majestic Sunnmørsalpene mountains.

Art Nouveau

Descending toward “Ålesundet” (now known as Brosundet), the ride takes you past a mix of small and grand Art Nouveau buildings that define the city’s unique character. Finally, return to the ship, accompanied by sweeping views of Ålesund as your memorable journey concludes.
