Alpine skiing and snowboarding
With long skiing traditions and two ski centres, Voss Resort and Voss Fjellandsby Myrkdalen, Voss has become one of the most established ski destinations in Norway – popular amongst families as well as skiing enthusiasts. It is not without reason that World Cup Events are frequently held here.
Voss is one of the most snow-reliable ski destinations in Norway. Altogether 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.
The two ski centres in Voss cater for all ages and abilities, from small children and families to expert skiers. Both ski centres have activities and designated skiing areas with magic carpet for children.
Voss Resort is situated in Bavallen, only five kilometres from Voss town centre. Ski bus service from Voss town to Bavallen every day. Piste map (PDF - 8mb)
