Voss is situated in the middle Fjord Norway, 1,5 hours by car from Bergen. Surrounded by the two major fjords, Hardangerfjorden and Sognefjorden, the town has about 14.000 inhabitants, a nice village centre and two ski areas.
For example, there is the historic Fleischer’s Hotel, or the Park Hotel Vossevangen, which has an internationally renowned wine cellar. Then again, you may prefer the smaller Hotel Jarl, located right next to the River Vosso.

Myrkdalen Mountain Resort is situated in Myrkdalen, 25 km from Voss and not far from Bergen, and is one of Norway´s most dependable areas for snow.
This new resort opened in 2003 and enables Voss to offer a variety of skiing experiences, from great beginners’ slopes to challenging terrain for the most experienced skiers. The skiing season is long in the resort. The winter starts in November and lasts until May.
In Myrkdalen, you will find seven ski lifts and many slopes that are suitable for the whole family. The area is perfect for families with children and, if you choose to stay in the vicinity of the ski centre, the distance to the ski lifts is so short that you can strap on your skis on your doorstep and ski over to the lift. The resort has its own children’s area with ski lifts and, of course, offers both ski rental and ski schools for every level of proficiency. In addition to the ski centres, there are lots of possibilities for cross-country skiing and ski touring in the immediate area.
The short distance to the centre of Voss and to the fjords means there is so much you can do! In Voss, the whole family can take a sleigh ride, go swimming in a heated swimming pool or organise a friendly bowling match. Older children and adults can go for guided walks or try abseiling. A tandem paragliding trip or sightseeing trip in a helicopter gives you a unique bird’s eye view of Voss. In the centre of Voss, you can explore the Vangsgata shopping street and the nearby Amfi shopping centre, with its shops, cafés and restaurants.
