[@thetravellerflora]

Wonderful architecture and the scenery is so beautiful, lovely bridge.

[@welltravelledlife]

Can you imagine building that bridge without mortar? They cut each stone so that one side had a notch in the top and the other had a spike. That way they could fit the stones together to make them stronger.

Love the look of the buildings in this city. That single lane road looked intense with all the traffic navigating it and then the person rollerskating along. Also, really liked the troll statues.

[@welltravelledlife]

Everybody loves the troll statues…So Norwegian!! And the troll road?!? Full on needs to be left in the hands of professionals. We saw the roller skating guy up at the top. We were so impressed. Gravity would have done its job and we’d have just rolled backwards!🤪

Wow the fire is devastating! 4:23 is where I was staring at! The 3 headed trolls! I am coming back to Norway! Missed out so much. Hmm yeah need to disembark for a couple of days in Alesund!

[@welltravelledlife]

Ålesund is probably our favorite city in Norway, but the truth is, we really love smaller villages more than big cities. Check out the video on Skjolden.

[@exploremalaysia]

@@welltravelledlife thanks! I am planning for the northern side of Norway. Seems more rustic. This year I just covered up to Trondheim before circling back via Roros to Oslo and onwards to Heathrow before returning home.

[@welltravelledlife]

@@exploremalaysia Agree, the north is pretty wild and untamed. We were in Honningsvag and North Cape which were really remote, but we REALLY want to get up to Svalbard and Longyearbyen. The more we see, the longer the list seems to get!

[@wondererschasinghorizons]

Wow, such beauty! That tunnel under the water is cool! That's sad about the fire, but cool story!

[@welltravelledlife]

It was hilarious. As Jenn was narrating, Knut started laughing. She didn't get it. It took the Norwegian to point out that she had said the bridge went under the water! The fire was totally devastating, but it goes to show how a city can rebuild and become something even more beautiful.

We had to do that drive a couple times to get the weather right. The views really are just magnificent. But to be fair, when it’s foggy and rainy, there’s something kind of cool about that too.

[@billyb5057]

this looks a great adventure quite a place wow terrible fire back in time amazing how its all been rebuilt awesome views to see the people seemed very friendly *😎Au💯full watching👀thumbs up👍👍*

[@welltravelledlife]

We kind of feel like we’ve been on the city rebuild tour. There are so many cities that were burned or bombed and had to figure out how to rebuild and use that as an opportunity to identify themselves. Napier, NZ also rebuilt in an art nouveau style and both of these cities have carved out a niche in the architectural (and tourist) world because of it. Something like making lemonade…thanks as always Billy. Your views mean a lot to us!

[@earsandideas7266]

Alesund looks like such a beautiful part of Southern Norway, on our recent cruise to Norway, sadly this wasn't on our Itinerary, so I need to make sure if we cruise there again, we need to make sure this is one of our ports of call as it looks stunning.

[@welltravelledlife]

Ålesund is a pretty typical port, so I would expect you won't have to go to great lengths to find a cruise that stops there. Bergen, and Molde seem to be the other ports nearby. It will be interesting to see how Norway's environmental laws will impact the cruise industry. More of the small ports like Geiranger are moving towards banning cruise ships. People will have to drive in, or go by electric ferry - both of which are great - though the electric ferry allows you the views of the spectacular waterfalls along the fjord.

[@earsandideas7266]

@@welltravelledlife yes I'm really pleased we got to do Gerainger recently as it was stunning.

[@welltravelledlife]

@@earsandideas7266 We loved Geiranger too - who else has a waterfall in the middle of their town?! But it was so crowded. Skjolden might be our favorite little village at the end of a fjord.

[@GamesCooky]

I'm glad to see you enjoyed a visit to my home city. I just want to add some context to the picture at 3:45. That ship actually belonged to Kaiser Wilhelm II of the German Empire. Kaiser Wilhelm was a good friend of Norway and made frequent visits multiple places in Norway. Like you said, the city was almost completely burned down. But then only 3 days later, Kaiser Wilhelm shows up with a small fleet of supplies for the approximately 10 000 people who had just turned homeless. Not only did he provide supplies, but he was also central in the reconstruction of the entire city. And this time in stone instead of wood. I sometimes tell this story to people who criticize Wilhelm II for being a terrible leader. Wilhelm could have easily turned a blind eye to what was an unknown town in Norway, but instead he shows up with supplies only a couple days later, and helps rebuild a city. I have some historical pictures of Kaiser Wilhelm standing on top of Aksla (the mountain hovering over the city), and inspecting the damages. Ålesund is a small city, but this particular history is a hidden gem that not many people outside of Norway knows about. It's a shame, because it shows that Wilhelm II had some good qualities to him.

[@welltravelledlife]

Isn’t that almost always the truth? There are shades of goodness in everyone - even the worst of us. Finding ways to celebrate the goodness that does exist is an important part of understanding humanity. What a great story you’ve told here. We love that you’ve shared it. We don’t blame Wilhelm for having a soft spot for your fair city. It’s one of our favorites!

@@IamaDutch-Kiwi Oh my friend, don't even joke about the staying afloat. We actually had to change course, and miss a port because we hit a really bad storm. All is well, and we're headed back to the US across the Atlantic, but we definitely had some motion on the ocean for a few days. We don't know how you feel when you have to leave, but we had a hard time leaving Europe this time. Our big trip for 2024 is supposed to be Canada, but we can't get our heads (and hearts) out of Europe and think we're going to add a month or two and head back in your direction next year.

[@NLMusique]

Very nice video. We will be in Alesund on a cruise from 7:00 AM -- 5:00 PM. We were considering doing the trollstigen tour. Do you think we'll have enough time to do both the trollstigen tour and possibly see some sights in Alesund like visit Mount Aksla and see all th🎉 colorful buildings

[@welltravelledlife]

You definitely will. Whoever you get to take you to the Trollstigen can stop by Mount Aksla on the way back to the ship so you’ll get the views (but not the climb). Tell them you want a bit of extra time to see the colorful buildings, but you’ll also get good views of them as you sail in and out.

[@NLMusique]

@@welltravelledlife thank you for the quick response. I might consider contacting the guide that you use. If the trollstigen can me done in 4 to 5 hours, I'll definitely have time to see a bit of the colorful city. Thanks for the tips.

Helllo, I was going through your video, beautifully made, very informative... and I am going to Alesund in October end and after watching your video I am all the more excited... But As it's not a tourist season oct end, it's very difficult to find any tours that go to Trollstrigen pleatu , do you happen to know anyone who would tour us? Or should we just call a taxi like you did and negotiate? I checked so many websites but could not find any answers... Any help is appreciated thank youuu

[@welltravelledlife]

I've heard that Trollstigen has been closed for repairs due to some rock slides. And I'd definitely worry about the weather in October. But, Knut's contact information is in the details of this video and you can reach out to him and he'll let you know if it's open or not. And if it isn't, he'll have good ideas about alternatives. Enjoy your time in that beautiful city!

You need to have at least 7 hours to do the itinerary we did (and have time at each stop). You can reach out to Knut, our driver and see if he's available. He was really good about making sure we stayed on track for time.

Hi. I live in this area. Not so far from ålesund. Thank you guys for showing me the scenery that surrounds me. I have a tendency to forget that it is so beautiful. The weather you had in Trollstigen is actually how I like it. That is why the trolls like it too. I also recomend to stop at more random places.

Sadly, Norwegian architecture nowadays look atroucious and Ålesund is slowly losing its old charm. The new buildings are sad communist like concrete boxes

[@WarrenStetler]

My GF and I are visiting her cousin near Oslo this Saturday (May 11) and have 3 nights Airbnb in Alesund Sunday - Wednesday. We’ll have her cousin’s car but would rather hire a driver to takes us to Trollstigen and back for the day. Can you ballpark the amount we should offer or expect to pay? $300 USD for 3 of us for the day seem possible? If very expensive I’ll opt to drive the 3 of us. So VERY excited for this trip and celebrating 🇳🇴 Norway Independence Day in Oslo on May 17 before flying back home. Brilliant video which we’re modeling our adventure from. Thank you!!!

[@welltravelledlife]

For a couple reasons, we think you should splurge and hire a driver (give Knut a call!) first of all, it’s a tricky drive, but even more importantly, the driving takes so much focus, you will totally miss the views. Do yourselves a favor and let someone else concentrate on the road while you get lost in the landscapes. We paid Knut $500 for the full day (that included a hefty tip). I think you could offer $350 and tell him you saw the video. He’s had other guests do that and he enjoys giving them “our” tour. You’re going to love Alesund!!

The fire was absolutely devastating to the city, but it was in rebuilding it that they opted to go with the Art Nouveau style that now defines the city and makes it one of the prettiest cities in Norway. And the house that didn't burn...How about that?!?!

[@SageOfHeaven]

Fair warning. Trollstigen is closed for the rest of 2024. You are not allowed to walk or drive there at all. Huge boulders keep coming down. Hit a car, driver was fine, but it was close. So they will need to make it safe, before it opens again in 2025. You can always go around to the other side. Valldal, not Åndalsnes. There you can at least get to the top, the lookout and see Trollstigen.

[@welltravelledlife]

Oh my gosh! We knew it was perilous, but hadn’t heard about the recent boulder accidents. I’m glad there is a plan to make it safe. The back side is equally beautiful and I’d think it’s still worth it to get to the top that way - as long as the weather is good enough to get a view down. Thanks for the update!

We've been more focused on travelling, filming and editing.
