Ferries from Nes Skibladnerbrygga

The Gjøvik crossing from Nes is booked at anything from 45 to 70 minutes for the same 7.5 nautical miles — a 25-minute spread on a single route, wider than anywhere else in this timetable.

Atlungstad, in the other direction, is steadier: 3.9 miles and a flat 35 minutes. Four sailings a week on each leg, departures at 12:50, 13:25, 17:40 and 18:15.

A range that wide usually means the same leg is sailed as part of two different rounds — a direct run on one and a call-laden one on the other. Nes is on the Hedmark shore at the neck of the lake, where Mjøsa is at its narrowest before it opens again to the south, and a boat crossing here is going between two counties rather than along one shore.
