Attention-grabbing islands surround Alesund like smarties on a cake. On this island-hopping tour, you'll visit Giske, Godoy and Ellingsoy, and learn about their Viking heritage while admiring their wild beauty. And to round of the day, there's a walking tour through Alesund town, famed for its art nouveau architecture.
Your adventure kicks off with a trip to the top of Mt Aksla. Enjoy epic panoramic views over Alesund before heading to Giske, the first of the three islands you'll visit. Its fine sand beaches, dinky churches and farm-fringed country lanes set the mood. Next, cross to the fishing village of Alnes – home to a scenic lighthouse – on Godoy island.
Then it's on to Ellingsoy, the largest of the islands. Framed by mountains, it's picture-postcard pretty. You'll then take the tunnel linking it to Alesund town, where you'll enjoy a guided walk of the centre. See the top art nouveau buildings while getting the lowdown on its Viking past.
