Tourism operator 62 North is pocket-known in the area around Ålesund, the city that has one of Europe's most distinctive architectural environments in Art Nouveau style.
With its own fleet of vehicles, 62 North organizes tours with kayaks, boats, ferries, buses and helicopters - to really get you into the experience. In addition, they offer comfortable and distinctive accommodations.
Would you like to wake up to the waves and seagulls cry, the mountains unique tranquility and the city's liveliness? There's always an opportunity.
At the entrance to Ålesund there is a little gem you can surprise your beloved with; Room 47 on Molja lighthouse - a very special experience. The rooms are only three feet in diameter, round and cover two floors.
Another hotel experience is Hotel Union Øye, one of Norway's most beautiful wooden hotels. Neither their “hunting for werewolves” or wildlife menu is easy to forget. In addition, there is plenty activities to fill your days with; fishing, rafting, a visit to Devold factory outlet, the Fisheries Museum, guided tours or the Atlantic Sea Park - to name just a few.
Either you are traveling alone, with family or in connection with your job, 62 North has exciting products for any taste.
Why not to do as the family Flint from England? After a trip south with Hurtigruten, the family's youngest demanded a little more action. They therefore made a stopover in Ålesund and took a two-hour sea safari in 40 knots, which gave the family a unique shared experience.
