Why Voss?

Voss i located in the heart of Fjord Norway - easily accessible by train (and car) Voss is the perfect base for exploring norwegian fjords, and mountains. 

Voss is known around the world for our festivals, such as the Extreme Sports Festival and VossaJazz, as well as for our many Olympic medalists and skiing legends - and last but not least, for our amazing and wonderful nature.

Prepare to be amazed by the contrasts. One moment it is all about fun activities, and the next it's about history, culture and exploring  the finest of natural attractions and landscapes.

You can try everything from skydiving to rafting, all with experienced guides, during the summer months (may-sep). Hiking is also very popular, as Voss is surrounded by mountains. Thanks to the gondola, the mountains are accessible even for the youngest, the oldest, and those with reduced mobility.

See all summer activities here. 

In winter, Voss transforms into a snowy paradise. With three ski resorts and kilometers of slopes for both alpine and cross-country skiing, there’s something for every skill level. Our spectacular mountain terrain is also a favorite for ski touring and backcountry adventures.
