Note from Tripadvisor:

From Alesund airport in Vigra, you can board the Flybussen airport bus to Alesund bus terminal (Rutebilstasjonen), which is in the city centre. The airport bus waits just outside the airport luggage belt area (you will not miss the bus stop) for 15-20 mins when the plane lands, so you will get on the bus all in good time. This does not require prior booking.

When you reach Alesund bus terminal, you can put your luggage in the lockers at the bus terminal. There is not much there to deserve a day's stay in my opinion. From the bus terminal, it is just a couple of minutes by foot to the art nouveau wharf houses. If you would like a nice viewpoint of Alesund, you can rent a cab to take you to Aksla... since with young kids hiking up might be a little tiring for them.

From Alesund bus terminal, you can board the “NOR-WAY Bussekspress” bus to Hellesylt. This also does not require prior booking. Here's the website for the bus timetable: …nor-way.no/nbeiis/…

From Hellesylt, you walk from the bus stop to the ferry dock to board the Fjord1 ferry to Geiranger. It's a very short walk, less than 300 metres away.

This ferry cruise basically brings you through the major sights in Geiranger from a fjord viewpoint like the "Seven Sisters" waterfall. Again no prior booking required. Here's the price and timetable:http://www.fjord1.no/en/default.asp?page=1573

I guess you will be staying overnight in Geiranger before travelling back to Oslo.

From Geiranger bus stop, you board the Fjord1 bus to Andalsnes. Here's the schedule: http://www.fjord1.no/en/default.asp?page=1578

Along the way, the bus driver makes 3 photo stops at Ørnevegen, Gudbrandsjuvet and Trollstigen for 10-15 mins.

From Andalsnes, you can take a scenic Rauma Railway ride to Dombas where you will catch your connecting train back to Oslo. You can buy your train tickets online here: http://www.nsb.no/home/. Buy the minipris tickets as they are much cheaper than normal priced tickets.
