From
Sogndal to Solvorn
From
Sogndal you take local bus to Solvorn indicated in the first timetable on this
page. It runs a few times day. On Saturdays and Sundays there are only busses
from middle of june to middle september. If you come before or after that you
are stucked at Eplet in the weekends. It is a nice feeling :) The bus takes 20 min, cost 39 NOK. Ask the driver to let you off at Eplet in
Solvorn. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the house. The village has only 200 habitants and the hostel is impossible not to
find.
I can
also pick you up in Sogndal for 100 NOK pro person. But we prefare that you
support the bus service. Need to be booked one day in
advance, tel: + 47 41649469.
