About the Forsand ferjekai – Lauvvik ferjekai crossing
The 1-nautical-mile crossing from Forsand to Lauvvik across the mouth of the Lysefjord is served by Kolumbus. The route has 10 sailings scheduled every day of the week. The first ferry departs at 09:25, with the last trip of the day scheduled for 21:50.
Sailing Durations and Fares
Crossing times vary between the fastest sailing at just 5 minutes and the slowest taking 15 minutes. This variation is a key consideration for timetabling. From Forsand, Kolumbus also operates services to Revså and Songesand. Pricing on this domestic Norwegian route falls under the national AutoPASS system, which primarily charges vehicles based on length.
The alternative to this short ferry crossing is a road journey around the Høgsfjorden. This drive requires using the Høgsfjord Bridge (Høgsfjordbrua) and covers a distance of approximately 28 kilometres between the two ferry terminals. The direct ferry avoids this longer road transit.
