Express Boat Between Bergen and the Sognefjord
The made-for-tourists express boat makes it a snap to connect Bergen
with Balestrand and other Sognefjord towns (for foot passengers
only—no cars). In summer, the boat links Bergen, Vik, Balestrand, Aur-
land, and Flåm. You can also use this boat to connect towns on the Sogne-
fjord, such as zipping from quiet Balestrand to busy Flåm, in the heart
of the Nutshell action (reservations are smart—call 51 86 87 00 or vis-

discounts for students and seniors, tickets also sold on
boat and at TI). The following times were good for 2012—confirm them
