The Glacier Bus from SOLVORN
and the ferry to Urnes Stave Church.

Solvorn is an old market place. The place grew on trade while the fjord was the most important artery.
All up to the mid 1960's Solvorn was a traffic juncture with ferry routes to Årdal where the great aluminium plant is situated. A lot of people made every weekend the journey from Årdal to smaller districts along the fjord to visit their family and to work on their farm. In this way many small places were able to survive despite falling population and less income from agriculture.
