When to go

If it’s the all-important Aurora you’re hoping to catch, October to March is your best bet. Daylight-chasers should aim for between June and August.

Getting there

• Planes

  Connections to Ålesund Airport take off from Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. There are also direct flights from Amsterdam.

• Boats

  Some hotels have private docks, if you’re donning your skipper hat and sailing in on your own yacht.

• Automobiles

  Hiring your own wheels is a good idea if you fancy free rein over the region’s fjord-skirting scenic routes, but most hotels should be able to arrange excursions and airport transfers.
