Please note: The bus will only run to Tuva until 5th of September, after that it will only run to/from Prestholtseter.
This summer, we launched the National Park Bus – a brand-new service making it easier to get out into the mountains without a car. The pilot project aimed to provide more sustainable transport to some of Geilo’s most popular hiking destinations. The service proved so popular that it will continue every Saturday until the end of September!
What is the National Park Bus?
The National Park Bus is a new local bus route running daily throughout the summer season, connecting Geilo village center with two of the most popular gateways to the mountains:
Tuva – entry point to Hardangervidda National Park
Prestholtseter – starting point for the hike up Hallingskarvet
Instead of driving to the trailhead – and dealing with the parking challenges this often involves – you can take the bus from Geilo and travel directly into the mountains. This makes day trips easier to plan, reduces car traffic in the area and gives both residents and visitors a more relaxed start to their hike.
Why a National Park Bus?
Fewer cars in the mountains mean less pressure on parking areas at popular trailheads, less traffic through the village and a more sustainable travel experience for everyone visiting Geilo. The bus is a collaborative project between Visit Geilo, Geilo Turbusser and local partners, designed to make leaving the car behind an easy and attractive choice.
