Aksla Stairs

Highlight • Trail

Highly recommended when there is little demand from tourists. There are over 400 steps and steep ramps, but almost every bend in the path has a small bench to rest on.

Aksla Viewpoint Stairs (418 Steps) – View of Ålesund

Highlight • Viewpoint

Up here, there are at least two bunkers (larger than one room) that can be explored. It's best to bring a good flashlight and wear proper footwear. There's sometimes a bit of water.

Access is also possible for people of average build.

May 22, 2024,Wanderung auf den Aksla mit historischem Rückweg

Today we first went from the ship up more than 400 steps to Aksla, where we were able to enjoy a fantastic view of Alesund.

The way back went through a birch grove. A pleasant return trip in over 20 degrees.
