Voss is one of Norway's most traditional winter sport venues. The varied mountain terrain around Voss could have been made for winter sports. It is not without reason that Voss has fostered more Olympic participants than any other place in the world.
Through the two ski resorts, Voss offers excellent nursery slopes as well as demanding terrain for the most experienced. There are also excellent facilities for powder snow sports as well as cross-country opportunities. The season is normally from December to April.
