Experience Winter on a Ski & Snowshoe Tour in Norway
Winter transforms Voss and Fjord Norway into a snow-covered playground, with white forests, frozen landscapes and mountains stretching in every direction.
This 3-day ski and snowshoe adventure blends two classic ways to experience winter in Norway with cozy rooming, local guides and carefully planned days in the mountains around Voss. Designed for active travellers, we’ve prepared the perfect short winter escape to slow down, get outside and experience the Norwegian mountains away from the crowds.
Tour Highlights
Snowshoe Through Norway's Winter Landscape
Strap on your snowshoes and leave the roads and busy ski slopes behind as you explore the snow-covered landscapes around Voss. Snowshoeing opens up parts of the mountains that would otherwise be difficult to reach once deep winter snow arrives, making it one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to experience Norway in winter.
Follow your local guide through quiet forests and across open snowy terrain, surrounded by mountains and crisp winter air. The route can be adapted to the conditions and the group, so you can focus less on following a fixed trail and more on enjoying where the snow takes you.
Experience Cross-Country Skiing, Norway’s Favorite Pasttime
Cross-country skiing is part of winter life in Norway, and during this trip you'll get the chance to experience it for yourself in the mountains around Voss.
Your guide will introduce you to the basic techniques and help you get comfortable on your skis before heading out onto the snow. As your confidence grows, you'll put those new skills into practice while exploring the surrounding winter landscape.
You don't need to arrive as an experienced skier. The focus is on learning, progressing and enjoying your time outside rather than racing along the trails. It's an accessible introduction to a classic Norwegian winter activity and a completely different way to move through the mountains.
Local Guides Elevate the Adventure
Winter in Norway is never completely predictable. Fresh snowfall, changing temperatures and mountain weather can transform the landscape from one day to the next. And that's part of what makes exploring it so rewarding.
Throughout the trip, you'll be accompanied by experienced local guides who know the mountains around Voss. Rather than sticking rigidly to a route regardless of the conditions, they can select suitable areas for skiing and snowshoeing based on the weather, snow and abilities of the group.
A Complete 3-Day Winter Escape
Three days gives you enough time to do more than simply see Norway in winter. You'll get outside and experience it properly, combining skiing and snowshoeing with time to enjoy the atmosphere of Voss and the surrounding mountains.
After each day outdoors, return to comfortable accommodation where you can warm up, enjoy dinner and recharge for the next adventure. With your guides, skiing and snowshoeing equipment, accommodation and meals arranged, there's no need to plan every element of your winter trip yourself. Just bring your winter clothing and get ready to explore.
The adventure, day by day
Day 1: Start Your Winter Adventure at Voss Resort
Your 3-day winter adventure begins at Voss Resort, where you'll spend your first day getting out onto the snow and enjoying one of Norway's classic winter activities: skiing.
Voss Resort offers slopes for different ability levels, so it’s possible to enjoy the day whether you're already comfortable on skis or still developing your skills. Beginners and families can also use the opportunity to take lessons and build confidence before heading further onto the slopes.
As you ski, you'll be surrounded by the snow-covered mountain scenery that makes Voss such a popular winter destination. It's an active first introduction to the region and a chance to settle into life in the Norwegian mountains before tomorrow's snowshoe adventure.

Day 2: Snowshoe Through the Hardangerfjord Region
Day two takes you away from the ski slopes and deeper into the winter landscape as you snowshoe in Norway's Hardangerfjord region.
After being shuttled from Voss to the starting point, strap on your snowshoes and set out with your guide. You'll make your way through snow-covered forests and across open snowfields, experiencing the landscape at a much slower pace than yesterday's skiing.
Along the way, take in the combination of fjord and mountain scenery that makes this part of Western Norway so distinctive. Snowshoes make it possible to travel across deeper snow and explore winter terrain that can otherwise be difficult to reach on foot.
The guided experience is suitable for different ages, and the journey to and from the starting point is also part of the day, giving you more opportunities to take in the winter scenery between Voss and Hardanger. 3-DAY SKI AND SNOWSHOE EXPERIEN…

Day 3: Finish With a Day of Skiing in Myrkdalen
For your final day, it's back onto the skis as you head to Myrkdalen for another day in the mountains.
Myrkdalen offers a variety of slopes catering to different skill levels, so both newer and more experienced skiers can find terrain suited to them. After the quieter pace of yesterday's snowshoe hike, it's a chance to pick up the speed again and make the most of your last day in the snow.
Spend your time skiing against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains, or take a break and warm up with a hot drink at the slope restaurant before heading outside again.
It's a fitting end to the trip: another full day outdoors and one final opportunity to enjoy skiing and the mountain scenery before your 3-day winter getaway comes to an end. 3-DAY SKI AND SNOWSHOE EXPERIEN…
