What you can expect

From Ålesund, travel across the Giske bridge to the saga island of Giske, the birthplace of the Viking chieftain, Rollo. The municipality was named after this small island because of its historical importance.

Giske is fairly flat and fertile with some settlements dating back to the early Bronze Age. Stop to admire and photograph the exterior of the quaint 12th-century white marble Giske Church.

Next, travel through a tunnel to the island of Godøy and the picturesque fishing village of Alnes. Visit Alnes Lighthouse where, on a clear day, there is a lovely view of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding islands.

After returning to Ålesund, head up to the viewpoint on Mount Aksla to enjoy the breathtaking views.
