Practical Info

Travel & Accommodation

Practical information for your trip to Stad. We have gathered what we think is useful for the journey, the stay, and the days around the wedding.

The wedding celebration will be held at Stad Hotell in Leikanger, and we expect most guests to stay in Leikanger so that the area surrounding the hotel becomes a social gathering place during these days.

Getting here

The easiest way to reach Stadlandet is by car. The drive is scenic, and the final stretch along the coast is part of the trip.

By car

Driving time to Stadlandet: Oslo: 8–9 hours | Bergen: 5 hours | Florø: 3 hours

By bus

You can take a Vy bus to, for example, Nordfjordeid.

By plane

It is possible to fly to the smaller airports in Sandane (with Widerøe, about 2 hours away) or Florø (with DAT, about 3 hours away), or the larger airports in Ålesund (Vigra, about 3 hours away) and Bergen (Flesland, about 5 hours away).

Carpooling

If several of you are traveling from the same area, it makes sense to share rides. Please contact other guests from the guest list or the couple if you want to coordinate.

Weather and what to pack

Weather on Stad in May can change quickly, so be prepared for everything. Bring both swimming trunks and rain clothes. If you would like to enjoy the beautiful nature at Stad, we also recommend bringing clothes and shoes you are comfortable hiking in.
