Driving from Denmark to Trysil, Sälen or Hemsedal: what the crossing costs

Bridge or ferry: the prices side by side

One way. The bridge prices and the Helsingør low-price ticket include everyone in the car.

• ØresundGO costs DKK 370 a year. At DKK 182 instead of 470 per crossing it has paid for itself after the return trip.
• The online bridge ticket at DKK 420 is the price with a 10% discount tied to signing up for the newsletter.
• Hirtshals–Larvik on the same Saturday cost more than twice as much in the morning as in the evening; other days that week started at DKK 1,620. If the dates are flexible, the departure matters more than the route.
• Storebælt applies if you come from Jutland or Funen and cross Zealand. A weekend return (Friday 12:00 to Sunday 24:00) is DKK 346 with a Storebælt private agreement.
• Not sailing: Stena Line no longer lists Grenaa–Halmstad, and the Copenhagen–Oslo ferry (now Go Nordic Cruiseline, formerly DFDS) is not offered from Frederikshavn.

Tolls and fees on the way

• Sweden: the Göteborg congestion tax (SEK 9–22 per passage, at most SEK 60 a day) is not charged on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, so a Saturday arrival by ferry is free.
• Norway: tolls are collected automatically, without barriers. AutoPASS gives a foreign car two options: a contract with a tag, which gives 20% off at most toll stations, or registering the car with Epass24 without a tag, which gives no discount. Register the car with its fuel type either way: where the rate depends on fuel, as in Oslo, an unregistered foreign car can be charged the highest rate.
• Oslo toll ring, 2026 rates: petrol and plug-in hybrid NOK 38 (47 in rush hour), diesel NOK 42 (50), electric NOK 21 (26). No rush-hour surcharge at weekends.
• Towards Trysil the E6 between Gardermoen and Moelv has toll stations of NOK 23–30 each and the road Hamar–Elverum one of NOK 27. Towards Hemsedal, road 7 at Brekkebygda is NOK 92.
• Studded tyres in Oslo: there is a fee from 1 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, and the city says it applies even if you only drive through. NOK 35 a day, NOK 450 a month; without it the surcharge is NOK 750.

By electric car

Two things decide how the trip goes in an electric car: what you pay per kWh and how much range the cold takes.

• Range: in the Norwegian motoring club NAF’s winter test in 2026 (−7 to −32 °C) the cars drove on average 38% less than their official range, between 29% and 46%. Plan the charging stops on the winter figure, not the summer one.
• Clever — this winter is different. Until 31 August 2026 a Clever One subscription worked at the white “Powered by E.ON Drive & Clever” chargers in Sweden and Norway just as at home. On 1 September 2026 those stations passed to E.ON in Sweden and Uno-X in Norway, and Clever states that its customers now pay there by credit card.
• What Clever still offers abroad: charging through the Clever app at partner networks — IONITY and Allego in Sweden, IONITY in Norway — at DKK 2.99 per kWh in the Nordic countries for Clever One customers and DKK 4.99 for Clever Go, Box and You. It is billed on top of the subscription; the price that counts is the one in the app.
• Tesla Superchargers that are open to other makes can be used without a membership; the membership lowers the price per kWh and can be cancelled at any time. Prices are set per station — one Danish station showed DKK 2.60 per kWh for members and DKK 3.60 for others on the day we checked.
• Paying without any subscription, fast charging costs NOK 6.49–7.29 per kWh in Norway (Mer, Eviny, Recharge, Circle K) and SEK 5.44–6.69 in Sweden (OKQ8, Recharge, Circle K). Circle K, Recharge and Mer state that you can pay by bank card at the charger.
• At the resort: SkiStar does not allow charging from an ordinary socket at the accommodation in Trysil, Sälen or Hemsedal. Use the resort’s charging points, and check where they are before you book the cabin.

Is a month of IONITY worth it?

IONITY sells two monthly tariffs with no minimum term and one month’s notice. These are its “from” prices in Denmark; the monthly fee is the same abroad, but the price per kWh is set per country — with Power it is SEK 3.47 in Sweden and NOK 3.00 in Norway, without a subscription SEK 6.09 and NOK 5.27 at the charger.

Paying by card at the charger without the app costs DKK 3.86 per kWh. A drive to Trysil and back uses several times that, so either tariff pays for itself on this trip if you charge at IONITY. Cancel it afterwards.

Winter tyres, studs and chains

• Sweden: winter tyres are required from 1 December to 31 March when there are winter road conditions, with at least 3 mm of tread. Swedish police state that the rules also cover foreign vehicles. Studs are allowed from 1 October to 15 April.
• Norway: there is no date rule for cars under 3.5 t, but the car must have sufficient grip for the conditions, if necessary with winter tyres or chains. From 1 November to the first Sunday after Easter Monday the tyres need at least 3 mm of tread (16 October to 30 April in Nordland, Troms and Finnmark). Studs are allowed in the same season.
• Denmark has no winter tyre requirement, but since 1 July 2025 it has been prohibited to drive on tyres that are obviously unsuitable for the conditions. Studs are allowed from 1 November to 15 April.
