Comments on: Hellesylt: A Charming Fjord Norway Village /hellesylt-norway/ All Things Norway, In English Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:27:16 +0000 hourly 1 By: Gary Huber /hellesylt-norway/#comment-1009609 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 21:13:15 +0000 /?p=69008#comment-1009609 Thank you for an interesting article about Hellesylt; it was very helpful. We are planning to drive Bergen to Andalsnes end of August 2024, via Skei for a couple nights, Geiranger for a couple nights, and Andalsnes for a night before catching a train return to Oslo. Should we include the Hellesylt to Geiranger car ferry in our day trip from Skei to Geiranger, or stay near Hellesylt and do the ferry the next day. Anything else you recommend?

Mate, there are no shops. no nothing. Petrol station closed and if you need an engine repair you have somehow to get to Stranda, 30 kms away. The celebrated pizza restaurant Ocals closed, now they sell clothes. A corner pub now sells only ice cream or such. A sort of restaurant in a good site with wood carvings but here the view is of a ghastly schoolhouse. Take the ferry and pay a ransom for a dreadful cup of coffee.

What about the dramatic Trollfjord That’s my favorite.

We are going to be in Geraingerfjord area on a Sunday later this month. Do you know if the shops in Hellesylt are open on Sundays?

Thanks very much,

Michael Schuman

You will not find a bus from Bergen to the Geirangerfjord. Geiranger is a very sparsely populated area so public transport is very infrequent. Plus Geiranger is hundreds of miles from Bergen. It would take about 6 hours to drive even if you had your own transport. From Bergen I would suggest you look at tours to the Sognefjord or Hardangerfjord, as they are both much closer (but still a couple hours journey at a minimum)

Me and my wife are planning to visit Geirangerfjord from Bergen and are totally dependent on public transport.Just couldn’t find any direct bus from Bergen to Geirangerfjord. Would highly appreciate your suggestion.
