Other options for getting to Sogndal from Sogndal airport Haukåsen

You have a few other options beside the bus when you are traveling from Sogndal airport to the city, but not many. Let’s take a closer look at the few other options.

Ride a taxi to Sogndal

One of the options is to ride a taxi for the 25 minute trip. This will likely cost around 400 – 600 NOK, so be prepared for this pretty hefty cost before getting into the taxi! Taxis are simply crazy expensive in Norway, so I would personally not recommend you to ride a taxi unless you have no other option.

Taxis will usually be waiting outside the main airport exit. If not, call Sogndal taxi on (+47) 57 67 10 00 to get them to send a taxi driver for you. These taxis also tend to stick around whenever a new flight arrives, so you will usually find an available taxi waiting when you get out from the airport.

Can you walk to Sogndal?

The road between Sogndal airport Haukåsen and Sogndal city center is not suited for walking! This means that you will have to walk along hiking trails and outside of the main road, and it will be a long and tedious journey. I would not recommend it since it’s clearly not intended.

There’s also no train track or other type of public transport beside the buses.

Car rentals at Sogndal airport

The final option is to rent a car at the airport. All the major car rental agencies have outlets at the airport, so you can easily get in touch with a car rental agent to get yourself a rental car.

I would advise you to book the rental car in advance to get the best price and save some time, but that’s up to you. You might not get the best car selection when you just show up, compared to if you book in advance.

The driving directions to Sogndal are easy. Follow the only road from the airport until you get to Rv5. Turn left (sign will be saying Sogndal) in the first split, and just keep driving on this road until you get to the city center.
