Hit the Slopes at Voss Resort

Voss is one of Norway's best-known winter sports destinations, and there's no better way to kick off your Norway winter holiday than with a day on the slopes at Voss Resort.

We have a variety of runs suited to different abilities, so you'll have the chance to enjoy the mountain scenery while skiing at a pace that works for you. You can build confidence on easier slopes or look for more challenging terrain; Voss Resort abounds with opportunities to make the most of a day in the snow.

Beyond the slopes, in the charming town of Voss you’ll find cosy cafés and a welcoming mountain atmosphere. The perfect place to unwind after an exciting first day.

Discover the Quiet Side of Norway's Winter Landscape

Swap the ski slopes for snowshoes and you’ll find a completely different side of winter in Fjord Norway. Snowshoeing lets you venture into snow-covered forests and across peaceful mountain terrain & reach places that would be difficult to explore on foot in deep snow.

Follow your local guide through the winter landscape around Voss, surrounded by fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery. Take this chance to slow down, leave the busy slopes behind and experience the tranquillity of the Norwegian outdoors.

Along the way, your guide will share insights into the area's nature, history and local culture, which adds another dimension to your winter adventure.

Led by experienced local guides, you'll explore powder skiing routes selected for the conditions and your group's abilities. Enjoy your opportunity to experience the excitement of skiing through natural snow while discovering a wilder side of Fjord Norway.

With the mountains stretching around you and fresh snow beneath your skis, it's an exhilarating way to round off your three-day adventure.

Still Have Questions?

DO I NEED PREVIOUS SKIING EXPERIENCE FOR THIS NORWAY WINTER HOLIDAY?

Yes, basic skiing experience is recommended. This 3-day tour is rated intermediate and includes both resort skiing at Voss Resort and guided powder skiing in the mountains around Voss. You don't need to be an expert, but you should already feel comfortable skiing on groomed slopes. The final day's powder skiing involves natural snow and terrain, so previous skiing experience is important.

DO I NEED PREVIOUS SNOWSHOEING EXPERIENCE?

No previous snowshoeing experience is required. Snowshoeing is relatively easy to learn, and your local guide will help you get comfortable with the equipment before heading into the winter landscape. You should, however, be in good physical health and comfortable walking on uneven, snow-covered terrain.

WHERE DOES THE 3-DAY NORWAY WINTER HOLIDAY TAKE PLACE?

The tour is based in Voss, a popular winter adventure destination in Fjord Norway. On the first day, you'll ski at Voss Resort. Day two takes you snowshoeing through the forests and mountain landscapes around Voss, while the final day focuses on guided powder skiing in the surrounding mountains. All three activities offer different ways to experience winter in Western Norway.

WHAT IS POWDER SKIING IN NORWAY LIKE?

Powder skiing takes you beyond the groomed resort slopes and into natural snowy terrain. Instead of skiing on prepared runs, you'll experience the feeling of moving through fresh snow while surrounded by Norway's winter mountains. On this tour, experienced local guides select suitable routes based on the snow conditions and the abilities of the group. It's an exciting way to experience a different side of skiing in Fjord Norway.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WINTER WEATHER OR SNOW CONDITIONS CHANGE?

Winter weather in the Norwegian mountains can change quickly, particularly when skiing outside groomed resort areas. Your guides will assess the weather, snow conditions and group's abilities before choosing suitable routes and activities. Safety is always the priority, and plans may be adjusted when conditions require it.

WHERE SHOULD I FLY TO FOR THIS NORWAY WINTER HOLIDAY?

Bergen Airport (BGO) is the most convenient gateway for reaching Voss. From the airport, you can travel into Bergen and continue by train to Voss. The train journey from Bergen to Voss takes just over an hour, and the accommodation used for this tour is located approximately 50 metres from Voss Train Station, making arrival and departure straightforward.

DO I NEED A CAR DURING THE 3-DAY WINTER HOLIDAY?

No. Transportation between your accommodation and the activity locations around Voss is included in the tour. You can travel to Voss by train and enjoy your skiing, snowshoeing and powder skiing adventures without needing to rent a car or organise daily transfers yourself.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR THE WINTER MULTI-SPORT TOUR?

The tour overview lists a minimum age of 10 years old. As this is an intermediate-level winter adventure, younger participants should have basic skiing skills, good physical fitness and be comfortable spending extended periods outdoors in winter conditions. A parent or guardian must sign the required waiver for minors.

CAN I BOOK A PRIVATE NORWAY WINTER HOLIDAY?

Yes. If the scheduled departure dates don't suit your plans, you can enquire about a private, customised winter adventure in Voss. Outdoor Norway can help arrange a trip around your group's preferred dates, skiing experience and interests, subject to availability. Contact the Outdoor Norway team to discuss your plans.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK A WINTER HOLIDAY IN VOSS, NORWAY?

The winter months are ideal for enjoying skiing, snowshoeing and other snow-based adventures in Voss. This particular 3-day experience has scheduled departures in February and March 2027, when the mountains typically offer winter conditions suitable for a variety of outdoor activities. The currently listed departures are 5–7 February, 12–14 February and 5–7 March, with private trips available on request.

ARE MEALS INCLUDED IN THIS 3-DAY NORWAY WINTER HOLIDAY?

Yes. Buffet breakfast and dinner are included in your 3-day winter holiday, so you can start your mornings with a good meal and relax over dinner after a day in the mountains. Lunches, beverages and snacks are not included, so you'll need to arrange these separately. On skiing days, you can purchase lunch at the resort.
