Explore Ålesund's Viking legacy and Arctic gateway curated with the HISTORY Channel. In partnership with the History Channel, you'll uncover Ålesund's historical and geographical significance as a
Viking stronghold and gateway to Arctic adventures.
Begin with a scenic panoramic drive through Spjelkavik to Sjøholt, following the Storfjord shoreline, a region historically tied to Arctic trade and Viking expeditions. Learn how Stordal's 18th-century octagonal church and its renowned furniture craftsmanship link local heritage to global influence.
Journey through Liabygd and Valldal, famed for their sweet strawberries, before ascending to Trollstigen (the Troll Path). Pause at Gudbrandsjuvet Gorge and see remnants of the ancient Viking road built by King Olav in 1028 — a route that connected communities to the Arctic north.
Atop the Trolltindene mountain range, enjoy a traditional Norwegian buffet while taking in sweeping Arctic-inspired vistas. Descend the Troll Path's 11 thrilling hairpin bends and visit the Troll Wall, Europe's tallest vertical cliff, symbolic of Arctic exploration and resilience.
Conclude with scenic fjords and villages as you return to Ålesund, enriched by Viking and Arctic history.
