About the Vassdalsvik ferjekai – Ørnes ferjekai crossing
Ørnes is reachable from Vassdalsvik via a short car ferry across the Glomfjorden. Nordland fylkeskommune is the sole operator for this domestic Norwegian route, which has a crossing time that varies between 25 and 35 minutes. The service runs every day, with a total of 11 scheduled sailings. Departures start at 06:45 and the final crossing leaves at 20:15.
Timings and Alternatives
The crossing time difference of 10 minutes between the fastest and slowest sailings is minimal. This makes the choice of departure time dependent purely on the traveler's schedule rather than vessel speed. Pricing is determined by the Norwegian AutoPASS system, which bases fares on vehicle length.
