INFORMATIONS TOURISTIQUES SUR LA REGION DES FJORDS

Ålesund, a town in Norway's fjord region, is renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture. After a fire in 1904, the town was rebuilt and is now considered one of Europe's most beautiful Art Nouveau ensembles. Visitors can learn more about Ålesund's history and architecture at the Art Nouveau Center (Jugendsstilsenteret) and the KUBE Museum. For panoramic views of the town, surrounding mountains and fjords, visitors can climb the 418 steps of Mount Aksla or take the Bytoget mini-train. Lovers of marine life can visit Atlanterhavsparken, Northern Europe's largest seawater aquarium, which also houses an oceanographic center. For outdoor enthusiasts, there's plenty to do, including cruising on the Geirangerfjord, hiking in the Molladalen valley, ski-touring in the Sunnmøre Alps and climbing in the Molladalstindane range.
