HELPFUL INFO FOR YOUR KJERAG TRIP

TRANSPORT – THE BASICS

• Coming to Kjerag means flying in to Stavanger Sola Airport – airport code SVG.
  Our best advice is to check the timetable of the fjord ferries and coordinate them with your flight times.
• In general, planning flights to that you’ll arrive in Stavanger in the morning hours on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday work best for scheduling.
  Leave the airport quickly and catch the Express Ferry leaving around 12.30
  (IMPORTANT: This time may change slightly when the new summer timetable kicks in from early June; we’ll post any updates here and in our Facebook page).
• If you want to arrive in time for the Heliboogie, before heliboogie starts, Monday would be your best choice for early morning arrival into Stavanger Sola Airport.
• Do not purchase expensive airline tickets that will get you into Stavanger at a later time of the day. You will then miss the ferry, having to stay overnight in Stavanger. Should it happen, expect to spend a night at a hotel and then either catch the slow ferry from Lauvik or the Lysefjord Tourist Bus the day after.
• To get from the airport to Lysebotn, you may go by ferry, taxi/ferry or rent a car.

Helicopter:  If you are eager to get in quikly to start juming on your first day, or come in late and don´t want to spend the night in a hotel in Stavanger. Feel free to contact Lars Berland about helicopter transfere : lars@vestbetong.no

FERRY FROM STAVANGER

• Check the tourist ferry schedule from Stavanger to Lysebotn. If you have time to reach the ferry from Stavanger you can take a taxi or a bus in to Stavanger. A taxi directly to the ferry will take about 30 minutes. The cost is about 200 NOK.
  Going by bus is not that expensive (about 40 NOK/person), but it will add 10-20 minutes to the trip. After arriving at Stavanger bus station, there’s a 10-20-minute walk to the ferry.

TAXI AND FERRY FROM LAUVIK
If you don’t have time to reach the tourist ferry from Stavanger, there is only one other choice. The ferry docks at Lauvvik. You can take a taxi to Lauvvik, but it will cost you a bit more (500-600 Norwegian Kroner). The drive takes about 45 minutes. Check the ferry schedule from Lauvik. From Lauvik there is also a fast ferry going to Lysebotn. Check this schedule as well.

RENT A CAR – DRIVE TO LYSEBOTN
Several car rental companies operate at Stavanger Airport. If you chose to rent a vehicle there, keep in mind that you need to reserve a car a few days in advance, especially if you have special requirements regarding size, et cetera.
The drive from Stavanger Sola Airport to Lysebotn takes about 2.5–3 hours. For directions, check the section ‘By car’ from Stavanger by clicking here.

If your time of arrival makes it impossible to catch any of the ferries and you don’t want to rent your own car, one option remains: To spend the night in Stavanger and take the tourist ferry from there to Lysebotn the next morning. Check the section “Accommodation” for our recommended hotel alternatives.
