Solvorn–Ornes ferry: frequently asked questions

How much does the Solvorn–Ornes ferry cost?

Lustrabåtane sets its own fares, outside AutoPASS. One way: 75 NOK per adult and 37 NOK per child aged 4 to 16, plus 210 NOK for a car under 6 m (130 NOK for a motorcycle). Above 6 m the vehicle fare rises band by band, up to 1,090 NOK at 17 m.

Do I need to book?

No. Tickets are sold on board and cannot be booked in advance: you join the queue at the quay. The boat takes 11 cars and 90 people, so it is worth arriving a little early at the height of summer.

Does the ferry run all year?

Yes. The summer timetable runs from 2 May to 30 September, with nine sailings a day in each direction; the winter one, from 1 October to 30 April, has five on weekdays, plus a few departures specific to Tuesday and Friday evening.

What is there to see around Solvorn and Ornes?

Ornes (Urnes) is home to the famous Urnes stave church, a UNESCO site; Solvorn is a pretty village on the shore of the Lustrafjord, where the crossing departs.
