Incl. all taxesA Beginner Ski Holiday in Norway With Room to Explore
Learning to ski is easier to enjoy when the holiday gives you more than a lift pass and a mountain to figure out.
Your first lesson at Voss Resort focuses on safety, fundamental technique and skiing at your level. A second session builds on that foundation before you move to Myrkdalen for a different resort experience.
Between ski days, discover Hardangerfjord on snowshoes and spend time in Voss. Finish with a day in Bergen rather than another morning on the same slopes.
This is a ski and snowshoe holiday in Norway, built around learning, variety and exploring Western Norway together.
- Easy to medium activities
- Certified Expert Guides
- Teamwork, laughs and thrills
- All Gear Included
Tour Highlights
A 6-day Norway ski package combining Voss and Myrkdalen
Enjoy a Norway ski holiday that goes beyond one resort. Combine three days of skiing with a guided snowshoe adventure and time to explore Voss and Bergen. With ski lessons, resort passes, five hotel nights, breakfast and transport between organised regional activities included, you spend less time coordinating your holiday and more time experiencing Western Norway.
Beginner and occasional skiers learning to ski in Norway
Designed for beginners and occasional skiers who want to learn to ski in Norway or build confidence with personalised instruction. Lessons at Voss Resort and Myrkdalen help you develop your technique across three ski days. Good general fitness is important: the Hardangerfjord snowshoe excursion includes uphill walking and a challenging initial ascent. This is a varied winter holiday, not an advanced backcountry ski tour.
Skiing, snowshoeing and sightseeing across Voss, Myrkdalen and Bergen
Ski twice at Voss Resort and once at Myrkdalen, with a lesson on each ski day. Explore the Hardangerfjord region on a guided snowshoe adventure, following a route through native forest towards mountain and fjord views, weather permitting. Stay three nights in Voss and two in Myrkdalen, then finish in Bergen with waterfront exploring and an included funicular ride to Mount FlΓΈyen.
Two Western Norway ski resorts in one holiday
Two ski resorts, two different settings, one Western Norway holiday. Voss pairs gondola-accessed skiing with cafΓ©s, restaurants and a town connected to Bergen by train. Myrkdalen adds beginner-friendly slopes and a mountain hotel stay, approximately 30 minutes away by road. Together, they make a varied base for skiing and exploring the surrounding fjord region.

6 Day Norway Ski Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Bergen to Voss
Begin with a scenic train journey from Bergen to Voss, as described in the self-guided arrival itinerary. Watch Western Norwayβs winter landscape pass by before checking into Fleischerβs Hotel. With no scheduled activity today, you have time to settle in, explore Voss and enjoy a relaxed evening before your first ski day. Confirm your arrival arrangements with us before travelling.
Day 2: Ski Lessons at Voss Resort
Start your first ski day with a personalised lesson at Voss Resort, focusing on safety and fundamental techniques suited to your experience. Practise on appropriate slopes and get to know the resort, with gondola access included in your ski pass. Later, stop for a drink at Hangurstoppen, enjoy the mountain views or return to Voss to explore its cafΓ©s and local attractions.
Day 3: Snowshoeing in Hardangerfjord
Swap skis for snowshoes and explore the forests and hillsides of the Hardangerfjord region with a local guide. Hear stories about the mountains, wildlife and life in Norway, with a campfire stop described in the itinerary. The Mount Oksen route includes a challenging initial ascent, so this remains an active day outdoors. Return to Voss after your fjord excursion.
Day 4: Ski Voss Resort, Then Travel to Myrkdalen
Return to Voss Resort for your second ski lesson. Build on the techniques introduced on Day 2 and progress onto suitable terrain as your confidence develops. Thereβs no need to rush: the aim is to improve at your own pace. Later in the afternoon, take the approximately 30-minute shuttle to Myrkdalen and settle into your mountain hotel.
Day 5: Skiing at Myrkdalen
Explore Myrkdalen ski resort with a lesson tailored to your needs. Put your developing skills into practice on a different mountain, choosing slopes appropriate to your ability. Between runs, take a break at a cafΓ© and enjoy the snowy surroundings. Spend your final mountain evening relaxing at the resort after three days of skiing across two Western Norway destinations.
Day 6: Explore Bergen and Mount FlΓΈyen
Finish your holiday in Bergen, exploring the historic harbour buildings, waterfront and city streets. Your itinerary includes a funicular ticket to Mount FlΓΈyen, where views open across Bergen and the surrounding landscape. Leave time to enjoy the city, and confirm the dayβs transfer arrangements and finishing time with us before booking onward travel.

Yes. If you are new to skiing, Voss Resort and Myrkdalen both offer beginner-friendly terrain and ski instruction. You will also have a mix of skiing, snowshoeing and sightseeing rather than spending six consecutive days on the slopes. This gives you time to learn, explore and experience more of winter in Norway.
You can ski at Voss Resort or Myrkdalen, two of the main ski areas in Western Norway. From Bergen, you can reach Voss by train, while Myrkdalen is around 30 minutes from Voss by road. This package includes both resorts, so you get to experience each one during the same trip.
The ski season depends on snow and operating conditions. In general, winter activities in the area run from early December into April, while Myrkdalen can operate for longer depending on conditions.
For this specific package, scheduled departures are in January and February.
Yes. You can join this trip as a beginner or occasional skier. You will have personalised lessons at both Voss Resort and Myrkdalen, starting with skiing fundamentals and safety.
Before you book, tell us about your skiing experience so we can make sure the instruction is suitable for you. Keep in mind that the snowshoe day has its own physical demands.
At Voss Resort, you get a mix of skiing, gondola access and time in Voss town. At Myrkdalen, you get more of a mountain-resort setting.
You will ski at both during this trip, with two ski days at Voss Resort and one at Myrkdalen. That means you can experience both without having to choose between them.
Because this is a mixed winter holiday, not a six-day ski trip.
You will ski on Days 2, 4 and 5. Day 1 is for arrival, Day 3 includes a guided Hardangerfjord snowshoe experience, and Day 6 finishes in Bergen.
That gives you time to ski while also experiencing the fjords, mountains and local area.
Our 3-Day Ski and Snowshoe Experience already takes you to Voss Resort, Hardangerfjord and Myrkdalen.
With the six-day package, you get more time in Voss, an additional ski day and a Bergen finish, along with five hotel nights.
Choose the shorter trip if you want a compact winter experience. Choose the six-day package if you want more time to ski and explore.
This is a resort-based ski holiday. You will ski at Voss Resort and Myrkdalen, with lift access and lessons included in the itinerary.
It is not a dedicated backcountry or ski-touring trip. If you are looking for touring, ascents or off-piste skiing, see our skiing tours in Norway.
Your package includes:
- Three ski days with lessons
- Relevant resort passes
- Professional guide services
- A guided Hardangerfjord snowshoe excursion
- Snowshoe equipment
- Five hotel nights
- Five breakfasts
- A Mount FlΓΈyen funicular ticket
- Regional activity transport
Flights, meals outside the included breakfasts and some travel and equipment costs are separate. Check your written booking details for the final list of inclusions.
Your ski lessons are included on Days 2, 4 and 5, and your snowshoe equipment is included.
Ski rental needs to be confirmed separately. Before you pay, ask us to confirm whether skis, boots, poles and helmet rental are included in your booking, as well as the lesson duration and format.
Contact us for the current price and availability.
This is not an all-inclusive holiday. You will need to budget separately for things such as lunches, dinners, drinks, snacks, flights and travel insurance. Your final quote should also clarify any ski equipment and Bergen travel costs.
Yes, you can travel from Bergen to Voss by train, so you do not necessarily need to rent a car.
The exact transport arrangements can vary, so confirm your arrival, activity transfers and Day 6 journey to Bergen with us before you book your travel.
Children may be able to join, but age eligibility needs to be confirmed for your group. The published information contains different age references.
Send us the ages of everyone travelling and their skiing experience before booking so we can confirm suitability.
You will also need to sign an activity waiver. A parent or guardian must sign for participants under 18.
Yes. You can request a private departure outside the scheduled dates, subject to availability.
Send us your preferred dates, group size and skiing experience. We can then discuss the itinerary, any changes you want to make and the price for your group.
Before you pay, ask us to confirm the booking, deposit and cancellation terms that apply to your reservation.
The tour information currently shows a 50% deposit, a 45-day booking window and a Lifetime Guarantee, while the general terms contain different payment and cancellation provisions.
We recommend confirming the applicable terms in writing before making your booking.
