About the Forsand hurtigbåtkai – Bratteli hurtigbåtkai crossing
Bratteli is reached from Forsand by a Kolumbus passenger ferry service that takes 20 minutes to cover the nine nautical miles. This domestic Norwegian route operates on weekdays and Sundays, with three sailings scheduled between the first departure at 06:00 and the last at 17:00.
The ferry uses the Norwegian AutoPASS system for vehicle pricing, which is based on length. Unlike the alternative car ferry from Forsand to Lauvvik, this vessel continues from Bratteli to serve other local quays at Bakken and Revså on the Lysefjord.
