Hi, I’m Eric Ellioth – founder of Ålesund Pass.

I moved to Ålesund in 2018 and was immediately drawn in by the light, the mountains, the sea – and the feeling that there was always something new to explore. I’ve always been into food and outdoor experiences, and through my work in film and photography, I’ve had the chance to dive deep into what this region has to offer.

Over the years, I’ve visited nearly every place worth visiting – not just the tourist spots, but the hidden gems too. Along the way, I kept being asked the same thing: “What should we do while we’re here?”

That’s when I realized: I had the list. Not a paid ranking or algorithm – just a personal collection of real places, run by real people, that I trust and recommend. So I turned it into something useful – a pass that gives travelers access to those places, plus solid savings.

With Ålesund Pass, you’ll naturally save money – whether you're here for a day or a longer stay. For most, that means hundreds of NOK in one day, or several thousand across a full weekend or week. But more importantly, it helps you do more of what makes a trip memorable – without second-guessing or missing out.

I built this pass so more people could enjoy Ålesund the way I’ve come to know it – full of depth, flavor, and local stories.
