Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Ålesund, Norway

There’s an edge-of-the-world feel to Ålesund: this quaint port town sits on the isle-studded fringes of western Norway, at the entrance to the peak-framed Geirangerfjord. The scenery is stellar, with mountain hiking trails and sapphire fjords; the city’s art nouveau architecture is just as picture-perfect with its colourful façades. Buy just-caught crab off the early-morning fishing boats, before taking in the city’s art galleries, antique shops and cultural events.
