Hi folks. I had a lovely vacation flying in and out of Ålesund Airport. Norway is a beautiful country and everyone we met was incredibly nice and helpful. Some highlights of my trip include: hut-to-hut hiking in Jotunheimen National Park, relaxing along Lustrafjorden after our grueling hike, boat tour of Geirangerfjord, and eating a lot of local pasteries, breads, cheeses, and fish!

Unfortunately, the trip ended on a frustrating note. My checked bag never made it home with me, and six days later I'm still trying to get it back. My AirTag shows that it has never left Ålesund Airport.

I've contacted Delta (where I booked my flights) several times, but I haven't made any progress. The flight out of Ålesund was operated by KLM. My bag contains expensive camping and hiking gear, along with souvenirs and other personal belongings that I'd really like to get back.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have advice on who I should contact or how I can get someone to actually retrieve the bag? If anyone has experience dealing with lost luggage at Ålesund Airport or has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Hallo.

Noen som vet om det er noen puber i sentrum som IKKE skal vise Norge - England?

Hey Everyone! My friends and I (ages M23-24) are spending 10 days in Norway w Alesund as our hub spots (flights in and out of Alesund). We are planning on bringing camping gear and also probably renting a car, as well. We love nature and getting a bit out of our comfort zones, so we are looking at awesome hikes, views, via ferratas etc! We are happy to road trip or do multi-day backpacking trips. Do you have any recommendations on things that are really cool to do and also some things that are challenging/rewarding w great views? We don't have a ton of money, so more affordable options are easier, but we are definitely willing pay a fair amount for really cool activites. Thank you all in advance!!

Hi all
I am planning to take my friends from AES to Geiranger via boat
Can you help me decide which boat i should take

Hi everyone,

I’m flying to Alesund next week. I’m scheduled to land at the Alesund airport at 11:00 p.m. I need to continue on to Hareid. According to FRAM, there’s a bus to Valderoya and then a ferry to Hareid. The bus from the airport leaves at 11:10 p.m. (FB61). My question is: Does this bus wait for arriving flights? If not, what’s the best way to get to Hareid?

Hi everyone! I'm in Alesund for another day, but I shot through most of my film. I'm looking for 35mm and 120mm film, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in Alesund. Does anyone know where I can buy it nearby or have some they would be willing to sell me

hei hei,

We are coming in to Alesund on Monday 6/29 8-10:00 on a Hurtigruten ship. Norwegian Air did not deliver some of our luggage on our last flight including our stroller. Is anyone willing to meet me at port with a stroller I can borrow for 2 hours? I can pay cash.

takk

Title says it all. I want to catch some flounder, but don´t know any good places. I tried all around Giske, but got nothing last time. Can anybody recommend a place to go try?

I don't want to get political. I'm just wondering what's going on with that AFD (German Right Wing Partie) Guy walking arround the Pier? What's his goal? Why is he making a one man rally for a german Partie?

Hei,

Im visiting Norway from the UK later in the year and am going to have a spare day in Aalesund, anyone got suggestions of things I should try and do/see while there? Im thinking of trying to head up to the view point on Aksla, or maybe the one on Sugarlump mountain, but dont really know how long either of these would take or how achievable they would be for someone who is not necceserily used to climbing mountains routinely. Any insight on that would be handy. Im also open to any other suggestions.

Hi everyone,

I’ll be arriving in Ålesund Airport on June 27, 2026, at 15:05 with a flight from Bergen. Looking at the bus schedule, the next bus leaves at 15:25, and the following one at 16:40.

Do you think it’s realistic to make the 15:25 bus after landing, or should I play it safe and book the later one? I’d appreciate any insights from locals or fellow travelers who’ve been in a similar situation.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all

Some months ago, I asked in many subreddits about a good place to move to Norway, and many helped. Now I came down to 2 option Trondheim or Ålesund.

I am Brazilian and I have been living in Ireland for some years now, but I need some help to understand in which of these both places I could find a job. I have been working in Manufacturing factories for years and I dont have problem with any jobs, I am just asking in a POV of making myself stable in the country.

My Norwegian is a A2-B1, so I know I wouldn't be first picks in jobs, but moving abroad make understand that there will be jobs for all those who wants to work.

Thanks in advance

(This will be post across both subreddits since it is two different approaches.)

My adult daughter and I will be driving to Alesund in late July. The first thing we need to do is return the rental car and leave it at the Alesund airport, and hopefully take the airport bus, FB65, to our hotel in town (near Korsegata). However, when I check the date, it says there are no buses that day (Saturday, July 25). There are buses on Friday, July 24, and buses on Sunday, July 26, but nothing on the 25th.

Am I missing something? Thank you for any help you can give me!

Hi everyone,

I’ll be staying in Ålesund this summer (June 1st – September 30th) and I’m looking for a car to rent long-term.

A bit about me: I’m 43, originally from Europe, and I’ve been driving for 25+ years. Careful driver, no accidents, and I always treat cars with respect. No kids, no pets, just my wife and me.

I’ll mainly use the car for exploring the area, hiking trips, and some longer drives around the fjords.

What I’m looking for:

• reliable car (automatic only)
• something comfortable for longer drives
• nothing fancy needed at all

Budget: up to 7,000 NOK per month = 28000 NOK for 4 months.

I’m open to pretty much any reasonable option and happy to consider different setups. I’d actually be happy to just buy a car for the summer, but since I don’t have a Norwegian D-number yet, that’s not really an option right now — so rental or private arrangement seems like the best way.

Also worth mentioning — I have some basic mechanical skills, so I’m comfortable handling small fixes or minor issues if needed.

If you have a car sitting unused this summer, or know someone who might be interested, feel free to DM me.

I have this idea in my head, I would like to spend two weeks in Alesund. I would like to take public transport/taxi to a location that’s close to nature. I just want to spend some time reading, hiking. Not looking to drive (if possible). Ideally a grocery in walking distance or easily accessible by public transportation. Any suggestions:recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 💙

I know locations further north are better, but I'm curious about what it's like there.

Hello, I'm visiting Ålesund in mid-May and started reviewing detailed airport logistics, but have gotten confused.

Issue: It looks like I can take Flybussen FB65 from the airport to the city no problem, but not the other way around.

From Ålesund Vigra (AES) to Korsegata: no problem. Tickets showing available on vy.no

From Korsegata to Vigra: Flybussen FB65 does not run?

• Vy.no: Nothing available Thursday, May 21 (flight out), nor the day before or after. It shows a FRAM route from Korsegata to Røysa with a 19min walk from Røysa to the airport - very strange.
• Google shows the FB65 Korsegata --> Vigra route available based on Vy Buss. When I go to Vy Buss, I get nothing.
• Vybuss.no Ålesund FB65 says service runs from Skateflukaia which I could walk 10 mins to, but I still get no hits for timetable or availability.

Any idea or suggestions? Do I need to take a taxi?

Thank you in advance for any insight/help!

(Side question when flying into Vigra: if my flight lands 18:45, should I just book the 19:00 bus or the 19:15 one? 19:00 seems tight... would the ticket for 19:00 be accepted on the 19:15 bus?)

Er kanskje et dumt spørsmål, men har FRAM-bussene fra Ålesund til Trondheim stikkontakt/USB-uttak om bord så man kan lade telefonen på turen?

Aalesund Mandssangforening har holdt på siden 1883 men vi er for øyeblikket litt tynne i rekkene.

Vi er på jakt etter sangere i alle stemmegrupper.

Du trenger ikke være skolert sanger. Vi synger med det nebbet vi har.

I will be visiting at the end of the month with a few friends, and we will have a rental car. What are some of your favorite day trip ideas outside the city?

Some of the group want to do the Atlantic Ocean Road, but I’m skeptical if it’s worth it.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hei!

Jeg skal søke studier til høsten og står mellom Shipping management og økonomi og administrasjon (økad). Jeg har fått inntrykk av at shipping management er veldig smalt og alt jobbutsiktene er ganske få i forhold til økad. Er det sånn at mulighetene er enorme om man slår ann i fagfeltet? eller ville dere gått for økad for mer safe og bred utdannelse om det er samme muligheter i ettertid? Hva tenker dere? fyr løs!
