Aksla Utkikkspunkt - Ålesund

Ça vaut le coup de monter les 418 marches !
Faciles à monter car il y a des sièges pour se reposer et prendre des photos tout le long de la montée.
Faites le c'est plus intéressant que de prendre le petit train qui coûte cher.

Ich bin den Fjelltunweg mit dem Auto am frühen Morgen hochgefahren. Es gibt mehrere, kleinere Parkmöglichkeiten auf dem Weg und man kann zu Fuß weiter.
Die Aussicht auf Ålesund ist sehr schön.

It is the the highest point inside the town to watch it from above. Amazing forests and paths to walk and enjoy the view. From the top you can get a 360 view.
It is interesting to discover and walk through some tunnels scattered in the area.
You can go there through the 400 steps, or through the road on foot or bus up to a point.

Tolle Aussicht. Die auffahrt und das parken ist kostenlos. Es gehen auch Treppen hinauf, falls jemand sportlich ist. Der Zutritt auf die Terrasse kostet aber 100NOK auch für Kinder/Schüler/Studenten. Wir waren am Samstag und Sonntag, am Sonntag hatte das Restaurant geschlossen.

A highlight of visiting Ålesund is the view from Aksla Lookout Point (Aksla Utkikkspunkt) and walking down (or up) the 418 steps between Ålesund CBD and Mount Aksla.

We were staying midtown, so walked up the quiet backstreets (Setrevegen, Fjelltunvegen) and trails to Mount Aksla. From there, we followed the pleasant wooded trail west to Aksla Utkikkspunkt. Later, we walked down the steps to Ålesund CBD.

The wooded trail from Aksla Dam to the lookout point (Utkikkspunkt) was very enjoyable and not particularly busy until 100 metres from the lookout area. Also a couple of viewing spots along that trail. I think most folks take the tour train along Fjelltunvegen, and some walk along that road unaware of the trail the parallels the road.

Aksla Utkikkspunkt and the 418 steps were understandably busy at the end of July but wasn't overwhelming (we saw two massive cruise ships docked below, and might have been others). A few very small stopping areas along the steps. Walking down (rather than up) the 418 steps seems to be an advantage because you are constantly facing different perspectives of the spectacular view.

Visited at end of July 2025.

You don’t need to buy any tickets here. If you want to go to the top, there’s a restaurant where you can have some drinks or food and enjoy the view from inside, or you can go outside to the top. But it’s better to experience the view from outside. I don’t need to explain it the view speaks for itself. It’s even better if you take some drinks with you

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.
