Getting to town

The village is tiny and right at the landing.

Viewpoints like Dalsnibba and Ørnesvingen are up steep roads: tours or hop-on buses. Since Jan 1, 2026, Norway requires zero-emission ships under 10,000 GT in its World Heritage fjords (big ships are exempt until 2032).

Fares are as reported by the sources below and change often. Treat them as estimates.

Money & entry

Currency: Norwegian krone (NOK). Cards are accepted almost everywhere; many places are cashless.

Entry: U.S. passport required. ETIAS (the EU travel authorization) is NOT yet in operation: the official EU site says no applications are being collected and a start date will be announced several months ahead (checked Oct 2026). Don't pay any site claiming to sell ETIAS now. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) does register non-EU travelers' passports and biometrics at Schengen external borders.
