Activities in Ålesund

A
Sukkertoppen
A more challenging hike leading to an even wider-ranging view leads to the summit of Sukkertoppen (314m). It begins on the street Sukkertoppvegen, on the hook of Ålesund's peninsula. The track follows the easiest route, right up the east-pointing ridgeline. Take bus No 618 from town and ask the driver to stop at Hessla school.
