We are doing a Norwegian Fjords cruise in mid August and will be visiting Molde, Alesund, Flam and Stavanger. This is what I have booked so far:
Flam: Flam Railway and visit to Stegastein viewpoint
Stavanger: RIB boat to Lysefjorden
So we have an mountain view excursion in Flam and water excursion in Stavanger.
We need to finalize tours for Molde and Alesund. In Alesund I really would like to do the boat day trip from Alesund to Geiranger which is timed
for the cruise ship, as I read the views are spectacular and one of the best areas to visit.
We are also interested in the Trollstigen tour which operates from Alesund and takes about 6 hours. There is a similar tour from Molde that is 2 hours longer, and only available through the cruise ship from what I can find. Ideally I think it would be good to split a water vs mountain tour in each of these ports, but would be interested in others opinions
My questions for those who have been there, are:
1. In Alesund would the geiranger day trip be your first choice over the trollstigen tour?
2. in Molde, is it worth doing a tour to trollstigen (8 hours round trip)?
3. Or would people recommend abandoning geiranger day trip and doing trollstigen from Alesund?
4. In Molde, is the Atlantic coast trip worth doing or is it not as impressive as the trollstigen trip!
Thanks
