Staircase facts
We've chosen to include some staircases that aren't "classic sherpa staircases", since wood and metal staircases can obviously serve the same purpose — making it easier for people to get up into the mountains. Vegatrappa and Midnattsoltrappa are good examples of staircases that do the same job as a "classic sherpa staircase", just in wood.
This site is meant as an overview of all the longer hiking staircases in Norway, not just stone staircases built by sherpas from Nepal.
The staircase up to Aksla is a popular viewpoint in Ålesund. Up here you'll also find the popular photo spot "Byrampen."
The first staircase here was made of natural stone, with construction starting in 1885 and finishing about 15 years later. By 2014 the staircase was in such poor condition that it was closed, and it was decided that a full renovation was the only viable solution. Concrete was eventually chosen as the material, though remnants of the old stones can still be seen in some sections.
