Did you know…?

📌 Our city train may look small and charming, but it can actually carry up to 56 adults.
However, for comfort and a better experience, we usually seat around 42 passengers per tour.

📌 The train has been a part of Ålesund for more than 30 years, and locals know it instantly. In fact, many people tell us they grew up with it — back then, the train was called Thomas.
Even though today it’s officially named Bytoget (or City Train in English), most locals still lovingly call it Thomas.

📌 During the active season, the train runs every day when a cruise ship is in town — which, in summer, is almost every single day.

And of course, the most popular stop of all?
Aksla viewpoint — where the view never disappoints. 🌄

Which fun fact surprised you the most?

Winter may be quiet in Ålesund, and our city train is taking a little break — but there’s still so much beauty around. 🤎

👉 One of our favourite things here? The sunsets.
We truly believe Ålesund has some of the most beautiful sunsets in Norway, and this season paints the sky in soft winter colours. 🤩

Take a walk along the harbour, enjoy the view from Aksla…or simply warm up with a good cup of coffee and a kanelbolle (cinnamon bun) while watching the city slow down for winter. ☕️🥐

Where’s your favourite spot to enjoy a sunset in Ålesund?

What do we do during the winter? Our city trains go through full technical maintenance and “winter preparation” before the new season.

This video gives you a small glimpse of how we clean and wash the underside of the train. 🚂❄️
