Getting there & away
Express boats to/from Bergen (Nkr440, four hours) hurtle off twice daily, Monday to Saturday, and to/from Sogndal (Nkr140, one hour) once daily.
Between May and September, a car ferry departs at 8.05am and noon and follows the narrow Fjærlandsfjorden to Fjærland (one way/return Nkr175/263, 1¼ hours), gateway to the glacial wonderlands of Jostedalsbreen. For a great day tour, Nkr480/241 per adult/child will get you a return trip on the ferry, bus to the glacier museum, museum admission and a visit to the glacier itself.
Express buses link Balestrand and Sogndal (Nkr86, 1¼ hours, three daily).
The scenic Gaularfjellsvegen (Rv13) is an exciting drive to Førde, on Førdefjord, negotiating hairpin bends and skirting Norway’s greatest concentration of roadside waterfalls.
