A two hour flight from the UK, Bergen with its UNESCO World Heritage listed wharf is within easy reach. As well as being known for Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, visitors to Bergen enjoy sampling the produce at the Fish Market, taking the funicular to Mount Fløien (in winter you can even try sledging down) or taking an excursion to the surrounding mountains and fjords, such as the Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord. During winter, there are great deals to be had on weekend hotel breaks in Bergen's many charming hotels .
 
Once the city sights are done hop on a the popular Bergen-Oslo railway and in just over an hour you are in the ski resort of Voss.
 
With long skiing traditions and two ski centres, Voss Resort and Voss Fjellandsby Myrkdalen, Voss has become an established ski destination – popular amongst families as well as skiing enthusiasts.
 
Voss is a snow-reliable ski destination, with more than 50 kilometres of well-prepared slopes await you and your family, offering varying terrain ranging from forest runs to high alpine slopes with breathtaking views. A stay at the xx-generation Fleischer's hotel offers easy access to Bavallen by a speedy gondola with views of the lake.
