Fjellstua, Observation point and restaurant at Mount Aksla, Ålesund Municipality, Norway
The Fjellstua building sits at the summit of Mount Aksla, offering views of Ålesund, the Sunnmøre Alps, and surrounding fjords from its terrace.
Established in 1903 by shoemaker Knut Gregorius Lied, Fjellstua survived the great city fire of 1904 and underwent reconstruction in 1934 with a modernist concrete design.
The building served as an alcohol-free establishment under Symra organization from 1916 to 1980, reflecting the temperance movement's influence in Norwegian society.
Visitors can reach Fjellstua by climbing 418 stone steps from Byparken, driving up Mount Aksla, or taking the seasonal city train during summer months.
The restaurant serves traditional Norwegian potato dumplings every Thursday, combining local culinary traditions with panoramic mountain and fjord views.
