Did you know that athletes from Voss have won more medals per capita than anywhere else in world? Spend a week or two here, and it’s easy to see why. By summer, this ski resort has well and truly shed its snowy winter coat, revealing crashing waterfalls and mountains that inspire you to get up and go – go hiking, biking or any one of the other many adventures you can embark on here. Plus, in Voss, part of the excitement is getting from A to B, whether that’s on the high-rise train to Flam or the panoramic cable car to mountain trails.
Gondolas and gorges
There’s so much to do in Voss – so where to start? Our recommendation: at the village centre cable car that climbs up Mount Hanguren. Less than 10 minutes later, you’ll be delivered to a restaurant and footpaths that range from easy to exceedingly challenging, there are plenty walking routes to suit everyone. They all have a few things in common, though: incredible views over glaciers, lakes, mountains and fjords.
Extremely exciting summer adventures
Voss hosts the extreme sports festival Ekstremsportveko for one week every June. But you don’t have to be an athlete to launch yourself into these landscapes, take on some of the local walking trails by yourself or check out our excursions that include challenging hikes with expert guides. These are settings that have inspired local people to become world champions in mountain sports.
Inspire the next generation of adventurers
Voss is great for families. There are pump tracks for cycling and skating, rivers for rafting, and a wind tunnel that gives you the chance to see what skydiving feels like without leaping from a plane. There’s a climbing park too – and, because this is Voss, it comes with a zipline. Voss Folk Museum offers a pocket of calm, as well as insight into the lives of farming communities that have lived here since well before tourism took off in the 1920s.
Easy summer day trips
If you haven’t had your fill of fantastic scenery yet, then never fear – there’s far more to see. Take the train east to Myrdal mountain station, where you can change onto the famously scenic Flam Railway. Or go west to Bergen, home to museums, art galleries, a fish market, and a historic wooden wharf. The fjords are in reach too, from Flam or one of the many other villages that can be accessed by the buses and railways that weave around the mountains.
