About
About Fjonesundet
Fjonesundet is a cable-style crossing over a narrow neck of Lake Nisser in Telemark, and at 8 minutes it is one of the shortest scheduled ferry routes anywhere in this data. It runs 15 times a day in each direction.
Eight minutes, fifteen times, fourteen hours
Fjone to Nissedal and back both run from 07:00 to 21:00. Fifteen departures across a fourteen-hour day works out at roughly one an hour, which on an eight-minute crossing means the boat spends most of its time waiting rather than sailing.
The road around is the reason it exists
Nisser is a long, narrow lake, and the road between the communities on either side of this neck runs the length of it. A crossing that takes eight minutes by water replaces a drive measured in tens of kilometres. That ratio — trivial by boat, substantial by road — is what keeps small Norwegian lake ferries in service.
A weekday layer on top of the base service
Not all thirty departures run every day. Most are daily, but a further group carries a Monday-to-Friday mask — the commuter and school layer that thins out at weekends. Both directions share the same 07:00 to 21:00 span, so the boat starts and finishes on both shores at the same hour.
What we could not confirm
The operator’s own site did not respond when we tried to reach it, so this page is built from schedule data rather than from the company. Fares, vehicle capacity and winter arrangements are not covered here. On a small Norwegian lake crossing, ice conditions can affect operation in a way no timetable shows.
Check the season before relying on it
Fifteen sailings a day is a substantial service for a crossing this size, and that level of provision usually belongs to the main season rather than the whole year. Treat the frequency on this page as the summer picture and confirm locally for travel outside it.
