I have independtly booked our Gudvangen-Flam fjord cruise and the Flam-Myrdal-Oslo train for this coming Saturday July 11th. What I do not have is the Voss-Gudvagen bus. I looked into Norways best but the timeslot that I need is showing sold out. What are my other options for bus? I understand I can just take any train from Bergen-Voss.
Please advise and thank you in advance.
Lots of people get confused because you are searching Gudvangen for the stop rather than the Gudvagen Ferry Port.
A company call Skyss runs a regular service between Voss and the Gudvagen Ferry Port. Go to their journey planner and get the timetable.
I took it in the other direction and the buses were literally waiting for people as they exited the ferry. You bought tickets from the driver and if one bus filled up, another pulled up to take more people.
This was a few years ago so someone with more current information may have an update.
The 9:50am is sold out, but the 7:12 is available.
The problem now is that as of this year the Skyss buses are no longer running in connection with the boats. Instead Norway's best are now running express non stop buses which need to be pre booked. They are not walk up.
So you need to look at the entur journey planner, and find out what time either Skyss are running, or the Vy long distance buses which stop at the E15 junction,5 minutes walk from the dock.
Both of those buses charge about 50Kr compared to 200Kr on the express buses.
The Vy long distance buses need to be booked on line at least 15 minutes before travel.
There are two places called Gudvangen in Norway, a very long way from each other. You want Gudvangen (Aurland)
Thank you for the all the input. I was able to get my tickets thru entur, thankfully!
Oh this is might confusing.
The Vy site showing Gudvangen 16 as a departure. Is this the stop that is close to the ferry terminal?
The Entur site shows no busses on 6/26 and keeps sending me to the next day
The Skye site shows little availability.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance
