The journey to the Fiskesenter is an experience in itself. You can opt for a quick and easy journey by plane. There is a direct 2-hour flight from Amsterdam to Ålesund. You can also combine a visit to Romsdal Feriesenter with a tour of Norway and/or a ferry cruise. Or a bit of everything, by flying to Oslo and continuing the journey by car.
Getting here
Aeroplane
There is a direct flight from Amsterdam to Ålesund. The flight takes about two hours. You can book this directly via the KLM website at www.klm.nl. The KLM helpline can be reached on 020 4747747. We recommend booking your flight well in advance. This works out much cheaper. From Ålesund, it is a 50-minute drive to Romsdal Feriesenter.
You can rent a car at Ålesund Airport. You can do this via this link https://www.rentalcars.com/nl/airport/no/aes . Renting a car is easy. Ålesund airport is small. You will see the rental after passing through the duty-free shop and customs. You walk directly left into the corridor after customs. On your right, you will see the Sixt and Hertz counters. You rent a car from €300 for a week. It is a 70 km drive from the airport to the flats. On the way, you will pass several shops. It is convenient to do some shopping right away.
Another option is to fly to Oslo/Gardermoen and make the journey from there by car. This is a route with beautiful views, mighty waterfalls and mountain rivers. You will see many mountains where the snow remains. You can take the route via the E6 to Dombås. From Dombås, take the E136 and Åndalsnes. Here you take the route to Ålesund. You will drive via Vestnes. From Vestnes, take the 661 towards Tomre/Fiksdal/Rekdal. Stay on the 661 until you reach your destination. The journey from Oslo is about 7 hours without a break.
Car and Ferry
Of course, you can also make the whole trip by car. Then it is recommended to take one of the ferries, for example Kiel/Götenborg or Kiel/Oslo. This is a nice experience, but the boats are pricey. There are restaurants and entertainment on the ferries. The boat to Oslo has the most facilities (including a swimming pool) but is also the most expensive. For about the same price, book a cabin with jacuzzi on the boat to Gothenburg. Check out the options on the Stenaline and Colorline websites.
