Hi

we are looking at visiting Alesund during the Food Festival in August and have found that the hotels are either booked out or charging a lot of money. We know that we can stay in the hostel but we would like to find out if there are any other alternatives.

Also can anyone tell us what are the best things to eat at the Food Festival.

hope you can help

Hi All,

I plan to have some vacation in Geiranger for 1 or 2 days. Actually what I want to see is:
- The great Trollstigen (north route from Geiranger to Andalsnes)
- Beautiful Dalsnibba (south route to Grotli)
- The gigantic rock Flydalsjuvet (south route)

For the Trollstigen, I would like to use bus (The Golden Route). Is The Golden Route cover route from Geiranger to Andalsnes (not Andalsnes to Geiranger)? The problem is that I will go in 28 - 29 May 2008 and the Golden Route itself operate in June 2008. Does anyone can give me some alternative?

For the Dalsnibba, is there any public transportation that I can use except Golden Route?

For Flydalsjuvet, what public transportation that cover this route?

Also, if I rent car, it have minimum 3 days car rental and it's so expensive. So I would like to have some pt or motorcycle.. Need help if anyone knows for motorcycle rental with minimum budget and not minimum 3 days.. Many thanks before

BR,
Christoper

I was wanting to know if we will be able to see Puffins at Runde island at the end of August?

We are flying out from Ålesund airport at 6:00. Is there a hotel near the airport where we could stay overnight? Sorry to bother you but I cannot find anything myself on the web!

Hi everybody

I am going to Alesund for 5 hrs by cruise ship next June but to date no excursions are offered by cruise company.

What is best to see in suchashort time? Is it possible to take an excursion to Geiranger Fjord?

Thanks

When I was visiting Alesund in August I went to Fjellstue scenic point. Among the rocks at the very pik of the mountain there was a bronze plate commemorating the death of a young English aviator. He got killed over Alesund in 1944 if I remember well. Does anybody know why this plate is there and what was the name of that guy? There is no monument there, just a small plate hidden among the rocks.

Cheers

I am going to spend one night in Bud in the end of August. I would like to stay in a rorbu and have found two different ones that are interesting: "Hellebryggjå" and "Rorbua" from rorbunett.no

They both are quite similar and the price is the same. The difference is that "Rorbua" is about 1 km from the center, but it seems like it has a great view of the sea.

"Hellebryggjå" is in the middle of the center, but doesn't have the same great views.

Does anyone know something about either of these two places?

Hallo. I just have a question about the flybussen if someone here knows about it ... I didn't find any useful informasjon on the official web site of the flybussen. Do you know if After 1:00 am there are flybussen from Aalesund airport(Vigra) to Aalesund and/or to Giske? I some if there are busses the whole night?

Hiya,

Does anyone know if one can distinctly see:
1. Sognefjord
2. Jostedalsbreen AND
3. Geirangerfjord, from a flight Bergen-Ålesund?

Thank you

Does anyone know about biking tours in Geiranger? We are planning to be there for only one day (cruising) in July and would like to have the experience of biking down Dalsnibba. Thanks for any info!

Can anyone recommend a good bed & breakfast or camping cabin somewhere between Stryn and Ålesund? Preferably nearer Ålesund.
I will be driving up and down from Bergen this coming week-end and need a practical place to stay overnight.

Is it possible to arrange a private guide and car to get from Geiranger to Molde and do the sightseeing that the shore excursion from the NCV would do but with out the number of people that would be on a bus?

We are two senior citizens arriving by tour group in Geiranger and Alesund in July. We'd like to leave the group and make a quick, special trip to Rindal, origin of one branch of family. What is the best way to do that? Bus,car rental? Any suggestions for either way?

how bad long is the travel from bergen to moulde is there many ferry crossings are they often how long will it take anything to see

My brother in law is a football fanatic. he wishes to travel to Molde for a football match, leaving scotland and returning the same day.
Is this possible and can it be done cheaply?
The cheapest fares I could find are £256 return between edinburgh and bergen and £207 from bergen to Molde and that would be over two days.
Any advice anyone?

There is a view of the fjord at Geiranger that is very high on the mountain.
How difficult is access?
Thanks

Will stay 6 hrs tomorrow in Molde, any idea what to do or to visit there (cultural or historical)?

Hello,
I would like to ask if anybody can help to me and my friend. We plan to come to Geiranger on 31st July or 1st August from Oslo by plane. Either to Orsta or Molde, perhaps other place (I'm looking for advice). The problem is how to get to Geiranger by bus, because we don't have a car. I tried to type destination Geiranger in Nor-way.no and it doesn't know it, actually it says something in norwegian which is not useful for me. Can you help us to plan it? Or give me english website? Thanks!

When I want to drive to Geiranger, and coming from Lom and Ottodalen, can I easily take the road at the right side at Breiddalen, to Geiranger?
I hope it is not too difficult with the serpentines.
Is this a toll free road, or is it the same as the Dalsnibba toll road?

I councilled a routeplanner, but this routeplanner gave for advice to make a roundaway via Stryn, Grodas, and Hellesylt, and taking over there the ferry to Geiranger. But this would take a lot of more time and kilometers.

Anyone who knows the region, and who can give me good advice?

I'm taking the long way from Volda to Ålesund at the Food festival in the end of August. Any suggestion for a cheapnice place to overnight?

I need some information abouit it. Answer, please. Thank you!

Is there any bar or disco around here??
I need an answer, please.
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm planning to travel around Geiranger region for some days.
The villages I want to visit are Dalsnibba, Hellesylt, Birksdal Glacier, Balestrand and finally Bergen.
I got some information for some famous cities like Hellesylt.
But, It's still difficult to find out some more.
1.Is there any transportation from Geiranger to Dalsnibba? Is it worthy to visit Dalsnibba Summit to see the fjord?
2.From Hellesylt, how can I get Birksdal Glacier? What I means is there was no matched bus station name, Birksdal or Jostedal Nat'l Park, in Norway bus website. What is the nearest bus station from Birksdal?
3.Where is famous place in Birksdal Glacier(Jostedal Nat'l Park)?

Because lack of railway in Norway, it is quite hard to get the itinery.
Thanks for your attention.

I'm thinking of going to Norway pretty soon to visit a friend of mine. She's working as an au pair somewhere near Alesund and ive promised for a while now to go there. Just want to know how easy it would be to get there from Oslo. I checked the bus routes and it seems a little bit complicated. Can I get there by a direct route?
Thanks, Will
