About the Kaupanger ferjekai – Frønningen ferjekai crossing
Every departure runs on its own set of days, and Friday is the only one with two. 12:00 goes on Mondays; 15:15 on Wednesdays; 07:40 on Mondays and Wednesdays; and 08:40 and 17:35 both on Fridays. Tuesday, Thursday and the weekend carry nothing.
Three service days out of seven
Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the whole of it. On a route with fifty-minute crossings that concentration is what allows a single vessel to cover several fjord arms in a week rather than shuttling one pairing.
Fifty minutes for under seven miles
The ratio points to calls along the way. Frønningen sits on the southern shore of the Sognefjord with no road access of any use, which is why a service this thin still exists at all.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 11 December 2026. With three service days and no two sailings sharing a calendar, the date has to be settled before the hour is worth looking at.

Sailings operate on selected days, 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.
