Alnes lighthouse, situated on the NW coast of Godøy, in its current form was built in 1876 and automated in 1982. These days it's owned by the municipality and can be visited. fyr.no/fyr/alnes-fyrstasjon

Sandvika is a beach popular with locals, especially surfers. It is situated in Alnes at the NW end of the island of Godøya which is the last in a chain of islands linked to Ålesund by underwater tunnels. From Ålesund the island is unmistakable, it's the mountainous one on the horizon (just right of the middle in the clickable PiP)

Die aus Marmor (unter Verputz nicht zu sehen) erbaute Kirche stammt in dieser Form vermutlich aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Ursprünglich war hier die Privatkapelle der Adelsfamilie Giske, die Verbindungen zum norwegischen Königshaus hatte. Eine Tochter aus dem Hause Giske heiratete den norwegischen König Harald III. Hardråde, der 1066 bei Stamford Bridge fiel. Später wurde die Kirche zur Pfarrkirche. Originally the private chapel of the noble Giske family, the current church probably dates from the 14th century. The Giske family had ties to the Norwegian kings, one daughter married King Harald III. Hardråde who died in 1066 in the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Later the marble church (the marble doesn't show under the whitewash) was used as a parish church.

Giske is one of the islands off Ålesund, connected to the town by underwater tunnels.

The village of Urke (some 700 inhabitants) lies on Norangsfjord, a side arm of Hjørundfjord. Hjørundfjord is to the west of the better known Geirangerfjord and much less touristy. Both are side arms of Storfjord.
