Getting There
Take the train from Bergen to Voss, where a connecting bus will take you the rest of the way. The train from Bergen to Voss takes 1 hour and 15 minutes and costs 242NOK ($37/£20). Buses for Eidfjord depart three or four times a day from Voss, taking 1 3/4 hours.
Part of the route across the Eidfjord itself requires a 10-minute ferryboat ride from Ulvik. In summer the ferry departs every 10 minutes, and in winter every 40 minutes. From Odda in the south, motorists take Route 47 north; from Geilo in the east, go along Route 7 west. The drive takes an hour.
