Skitouring Hardanger/Voss

Hardanger and Voss offer a fantastic ski terrain, with beautiful summits and fjord views and a large number of varied descents for all skill levels. We will try to find good snow conditions in safe terrain for skitouring. Difficulty level will be adapted to the group. Destination is chosen based on the best possible snow conditions and weather / wind conditions.

Guided skitouring is perfect when you want to get to know a new area. With a local guide you can lean back and enjoy the hike, while someone else leads the way. Guided skitouring is also safer than setting out on your own. Local guides have a lot of knowledge and can read the snow and terrain really well. You will also learn a lot on guided trips. Hardanger Fjellguide have a lot of information that they are happy to share with you.
