TRANSPORTATION
If you have any questions about how to get to Vaasa or Hotel Norrvalla, don't hesitate to contact us!
THE WINTER HOP BUS
The "Winter Hop Bus" will pick you up and drive you Vaasa-Norrvalla-Vaasa. We'll try our best to make it work with arriving trains and flights, please contact us if there's a problem or if you're traveling by ferry (ferry schedule most likely won't work with the bus schedule, you may want to book an extra night at Norrvalla). If you want to grab a coffee or something to eat while waiting for the bus, here's a link to cafeterias & restaurants in Vaasa.
If you need help with transportation, please remember to book the "Winter Hop Bus" when registering for the workshop!
Price: 10 € / way in CASH to be paid to our contact person in the bus going to Norrvalla, and to be paid at our info desk going back Sunday.

SCHEDULE 2019 FRIDAY the bus will start at the airport 14:20, continue to the train station (Vaasa travelling centre, in the centre of Vaasa) from where it leaves at 14:50 (this should work well with some arriving trains and flights). The bus then drives straight to Norrvalla, which takes about 45 minutes. SUNDAY the bus will leave Norrvalla in the afternoon 16:20, continuing to the airport (there ca 17:05, make sure you have 45 min.-1 h before your flight leaves if you need to check in luggage, 45 min. for national, 1 h for international flights), then onwards to Vaasa travelling centre and should reach the train station ca 17:30. Most trains and flights leave about 18 or 18:30, so this should work well for most of you. |
Helsinki travellers?
Last we checked there was a flight (Hki-Vaasa-Hki) leaving Friday 13:10-14:05, and return Sunday 18:00-19:05.
There were 2 available trains when we checked: Friday Hki-Vaasa 9:24-13:11 or 10:24-14:18. Back Sunday Vaasa-Hki 18:28-22:35.
Book early, last year some trains sold out!
Oulu travellers?
You lovely people, make sure to check with your own group of dancers who's going. We seem to remember that you have even rented your own bus Oulu-Vöyri at some point? Many of you seem to be travelling together, maybe carpool if you can't find a suitable train?
Tampere travellers?
There were 2 available trains when we checked: Friday Tre-Vaasa 11:00-13:11 or 12:00-14:18. Back Sunday Vaasa-Tre 18:28-20:55.
Book early, last year some trains sold out!
Umeå travellers?
You awesome people, make sure to check with your own group of dancers who's going. Usually there's a group discussion happening eg. in your Facebook group. Note! You will most likely need to take the ferry already on Thursday in order to get here on time, so you can't use the Winter Hop bus, sorry!
From elsewhere travellers?
We're so happy you're joining us! Unfortunately it's tricky for us to keep track of where everyone's travelling from, so we can't accommodate for everyone's flights and schedules. Make sure to try and match your arrival with the Winter Hop bus (see schedule above), that way you can get an easy ride Vaasa-Vöyri to the campsite.
BY PLANE
There are airport taxis that will take you into Vaasa City, from where you may continue to the camp with the "Winter Hop Bus". Contact us if you need help!
