The strait has carried us for a thousand years.
Now we carry each other.

Vaelstrand moves on five lines: two metros beneath the islands, two tramways over stone and water, and the Skerry Ferry across the Vael. Plan your journey here — every departure, fare and pier, kept current by the authority itself.
