About the Oscarsborg vestre kai – Drøbak crossing
For the crossing from Oscarsborg vestre to Drøbak, Ruter provides six daily sailings. This domestic Norwegian route covers a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile across the Drøbak Sound, with the journey taking just 5 to 6 minutes. Departures are scheduled every day, beginning at 10:19 and concluding with the final sailing at 18:48.
Timetable and Pricing
The short duration of this crossing makes it a direct link between the island fortress and the mainland town. Passengers will find this ferry runs on a consistent daily schedule. From Drøbak's main pier, other Ruter services also connect to locations including Fagerstrand and Filtvet, as well as the eastern quay at Oscarsborg.
Pricing for the route falls under the Norwegian AutoPASS road-ferry system. This structure typically means foot passengers travel without charge, while vehicles are priced based on their length. The alternative to this ferry for reaching the mainland from Oscarsborg is to use the separate Ruter service to Håøya, which does not provide a direct connection to Drøbak.
