This Ålesund shore excursion departs by bus from the cruise terminal and travels across the Storfjord to Mount Stranda for a ride on the Stranda Gondola. The tour also includes a photo stop outside the Rose Church (Rosekyrkja) in Stordal, and a sightseeing drive through the Art Nouveau centre of Ålesund. An excursion combining spectacular landscapes, fjords, mountains and Norwegian cultural heritage.
The journey begins with a scenic drive from Ålesund and a ferry crossing across the Storfjord, with towering mountains and picturesque villages along the way. The route then leads towards the Sunnmøre Alps and Mount Stranda, where you will board the Stranda Gondola for a spectacular ride up the mountainside. As you ascend, sweeping views of the surrounding fjords and mountains gradually unfold. At 1042 metres above sea level, you can enjoy panoramic views, with time to take in the scenery and capture some wonderful photographs.
After descending, the excursion continues to Stranda for a second ferry crossing to Liabygda. From Liabygda, the route continues to Stordal for an outside photo stop at the historic 18th-century Rose Church, followed by another stop at Kokarsteinen, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the Storfjord.
The excursion concludes with a sightseeing drive through the centre of Ålesund, known for its distinctive Art Nouveau architecture. Colourful buildings, decorative façades and elegant architectural details give the town its unique character, creating a striking contrast to the fjords and mountain scenery experienced earlier in the day.
NB: The excursion includes two ferry crossings of approximately 10–15 minutes each, both with the bus on board.
