The Flight Experience: Oslo (OSL) to Haugesund (HAU)

Connecting the capital to the North Sea coast is a quick and scenic experience.

• Departure from Gardermoen: Your journey begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a domestic passenger, you benefit from the efficiency of Norway's main hub. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget express train for the most reliable arrival at the airport.
• The Journey West: The flight duration is typically just 50 to 55 minutes. You will fly over the high mountain plateaus of Hardangervidda before descending towards the island-dotted coastline of Rogaland. It is one of the most efficient ways to cross the country.
• Arrival at Karmøy: You will land at Haugesund Airport, Karmøy (HAU). Located on the island of Karmøy, about 14 kilometers from Haugesund city center, it is a small, stress-free regional airport. The short distance from the runway to the exit means you can be in a taxi or rental car minutes after landing.

Destination: Haugesund – Where Norway Was United

Haugesund is a city that punches above its weight. It is historically significant, culturally vibrant, and economically powerful.

• The Viking Homeland
  Just a short drive from the airport lies Avaldsnes, known as Norway's oldest royal seat. This is where King Harald Fairhair established his main court and united Norway into one kingdom. The Nordvegen History Centre and the reconstructed Viking Farm provide an immersive look into this past, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Norse heritage.
• The Film and Jazz Capital
  Haugesund is the host of the Norwegian International Film Festival and the Amanda Awards (Norway's Oscars), transforming the city into a red-carpet destination every August. Additionally, the Sildajazz festival fills the harbor with music and life, celebrating the city's rich history as a herring fishing hub.
• Nature and Waterfalls
  The region is also a gateway to spectacular nature. The Åkrafjord and the massive Langfoss waterfall—voted one of the most beautiful in the world—are within driving distance. The coastal landscape offers excellent hiking, fishing, and boating opportunities.

Practical Travel Tips for this Route

1. Transport from Airport: The airport bus (Flybussen) corresponds with most scheduled flight arrivals and takes you directly to the city center. Taxis are available, but renting a car is highly recommended if you plan to explore Karmøy or the surrounding fjords.
2. Weather: The coast of Haugalandet is exposed to the North Sea. It can be windy and wet, even in summer. Pack a good windbreaker and waterproof shoes to enjoy the coastal walks comfortably.
3. Business Commuters: This route is heavily used by the maritime industry. Early morning and late afternoon flights can fill up quickly with commuters. We advise booking your Ready2Go ticket in advance if you need to travel during these peak windows.
4. Shopping: Haugesund has one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Norway, Haraldsgata. It is perfect for a stroll, offering a mix of chain stores and independent boutiques.
