About the Årsnes ferjekaiGjermundshamn ferjekai crossing

There is an island in the middle of this crossing, and it is the reason the timetable looks the way it does. The service is not a straight shuttle but a three-way link — Gjermundshamn, Varaldsøy and Årsnes — connecting the island of Varaldsøy to the mainland on both its northern and southern sides. Both quays named here sit in Kvinnherad, on Fylkesveg 48, across the Hardangerfjord.

Seven day patterns on one route

Because island calls and mainland-to-mainland runs are interleaved, the departures split into seven separate day groups rather than the usual two. Twelve sailings run Monday to Friday, seven on Sundays only, six at weekends, five Monday to Saturday, four every day, two on Saturdays alone and two more on every day except Saturday. Reading the day column here is not optional.

Around the clock, just about

The span runs from 00:00 to 22:45, with the crossing itself timetabled at 20 minutes over roughly three nautical miles. Thirty-eight departures are listed in total, which for a fjord this size is a dense service.

How much it carries

240,844 vehicles used the link during 2024. That volume is why the route holds a night service and why the reserve boat gets called in when the main vessel is out — a triangle route with an island depending on it cannot simply stand down.

How do I get back from Gjermundshamn?

How long is the ferry ride?

How much does a ticket cost?

On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Skyss for the current tariff.

Can I do this as a day trip?

A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 20m and several sailings a day (first 00:00, last 22:45), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.

Does the ferry run all year?

Sailings run daily, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.

Can I take a car on this ferry?

Skyss does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.

Can I take a pet on this ferry?

Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Skyss, so declare your pet when booking.

What's the luggage allowance?

Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
