Overview

Discover the scenery and history of the ‘Viking saga islands’ of Giske and Godøy.
From Ålesund, we’ll travel across the Giske bridge to the saga island of Giske, the birthplace of the Viking chieftain, Rollo.
During a photo stop at Giske we will enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Travelling through a tunnel will bring us to the island of Godøy and the picturesque fishing village of Alnes. There will be a stop at Alnes Lighthouse for a visit .
We return to Ålesund and ascend the local mountain Aksla. The bus will take us as far as the stadium, where we’ll continue our journey on foot. A scenic 900-meter walk on a gentle path with no gradient will lead us to the viewpoint, offering spectacular panoramic views of Ålesund and its stunning surroundings. From the viewpoint, we will descend 418 steps back to the town, where it's just a short walk to the harbor.‍ Please Note: For those who prefer not to walk to the viewpoint or down the steps, the bus will return directly to the harbor.
