1-Day in Alesund, Norway (Suggestions)

[Kamfish642]

We decided not to talk a tour of Alesund but rather walkabout on our own.  Any suggestions on a good walking path or "must see" points in walking distance?

You might get some inspiration here - also a HoHo service.

... or in this topic is from 2022, might also serve as inspiration.

Alesund is very hilly and, if you have ANY mobility issues, walking is not an option.  We did the 70 minute City Train and the highlight was the view from Mount Askla.  Can't believe people would actually walk all the way up; must be in FANTASTIC shape.

Popular Alesund is a FAQ and there are many previous threads you could read if you use the search facility under your username, although this thread with multiple posts would probably give you all or most of the info you are looking for if you read it through:

We have no agenda either. The top of Mount Askla is a must. This port stop is too beautiful to not just explore on our own. We see in port for a good amount of hours and a Hop on Hop off may be the way to go.

Same advice to you as I gave the OP.
