Alesund Escape Games

Escape Rooms.

Reviewed By dougm311

We really enjoyed both rooms at Ålesund Escape Games. They were suitably challenging and I like the fact that you have 75 minutes to escape. I enjoyed the mafia room best due to the style and layout of the room and the puzzles were excellent. The staff were very friendly and the reception area was very clean, spacious and welcoming. I would recommend a visit if you are in Ålesund.

Geiranger Sjokolade

Looking for gifts and souvenirs for your loved ones back home? Who does not love chocolate?? We make our own internationally awarded chocolate downstairs, peep into our production from the fjord side. We do things a little bit different. Have you ever tried chocolate with cheese inside? Or whisky? Or typical Norwegian wild berries like cloudberry and lingonberry? We also sell other delicatessen made by other small local businesses. Home made soft-ice cream and chocolate waffles on a stick is other popular treats or one of our 5 different hot chocolates on a cold Norwegian summer day.

Reviewed By Koalaoslo - Oslo, Norway

Very charming shop filled with excellent quality of handmade chocolates. Swedish chocolatier offers various tastes of chocolates. I strongly recommend to try chocolates with aquavitt and brown cheese. They are very unique and probably you cannot find these any other place. If you are lucky you can taste fantastic local strawberries with chocolates????.

Norwegian Mountaineering Centre

Reviewed By savagenumber - Kirkland, United States

The museum is pretty neat, especially if you haven’t done any rock climbing before. They have exhibits that show you what tools are used, and how the sport started. It was particularly neat to see the evolution of the tools, eg shoes, from a hundred years ago till now. Most of the video exhibits had English but some were old enough that the videos were only in Norwegian. Overall this place is worth spending a couple of hours in.
