Experiences in the great outdoors

If you want to explore the forces of nature up close, we recommend a visit to one of the waterfalls surrounding Voss - like Tvindefossen or Skjervsfossen. Bordalsgjelet Gorge is also a beautiful nature attraction within walking distance from the town centre, where you can see how the ice and water has shaped the landscape over thousands of years. Driving down the hairpin road of Stalheimskleiva in the summer time is also a must!

Voss Gondol

The new cable car in Voss opened in July 2019, and takes you from the railway station up to Hangurstoppen (820 metres). It is the biggest and most modern cable car in Northern Europe, and it is open all year. At the top, you will find Hangurstoppen Restaurant and panoramic views of the mountains around Voss, and a fantastic area for activities and recreation. In summer, it’s a great place for walking, biking and paragliding. In winter, the cable car takes you straight up to Voss Resort ski centre.

Winter and skiing

Voss is one of the skiing destinations in Norway that is most dependable for snow. You can choose between two different ski resorts – Voss Resort and Myrkdalen. Combined the two ski resorts has over 70 km of slopes for all skiing levels, 20 ski lifts, exciting off piste-terrain and family friendly skiing areas for children. Voss Resort is easily reachable from the town centre of Voss - only ten minutes away with the cable car Voss Gondol. Myrkdalen is a short 25-km drive from the centre of Voss.

Voss also has a large variety of trails for cross-country skiing. In the cross-country arena Voss ski- og tursenter you’ll find a large trail network and a training area for both cross-country and biathlon. Voss Resort and Myrkdalen also has many kilometres of groomed cross-country trails, perfect for both working out and family excursions. If you want to experience the winter landscape without skis, our guided snowshoeing hikes is highly recommended
