Winter in Voss

One ski destination, two ski centres, and a long skiing tradition - Voss, the winter capital in Fjord Norway, offers much skiing fun.

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) 

Voss Fjellandsby Myrkdalen is situated in Myrkdalen, a short drive of only 25 kilometres from Voss town centre. Ski bus service on weekends and holidays. Piste map (PDF - 241 KB)
