There is no road connection to the island, but there is a cable ferry connection across the 450-metre (1,480 ft) wide Norheimsundet strait to the neighboring island of Stabblandet. The cable ferry began operating on 16 January 2009.[3]
The main village on the island is known as Solskjel, so the island is sometimes referred to by that name.
