10 Years of Outdoor Norway

A Decade of exploration, adventure, and connection with nature

Our mission

Where the journey began

On March 7th, 2016, Outdoor Norway officially became a registered company in Voss. What began as a vision to share Norway’s wild landscapes has grown into one of Fjord Norway’s most unique outdoor adventure operators.

But the story started long before that.


A timeless journey

Navigating wild terrain and exploring remote landscapes inspired something bigger, the idea of bringing people to unique locations and sharing the power of nature.

  • 2016 - A Bold Vision ✨

    Fast forward to 2016, that idea became Outdoor Norway.

    Over the past decade we have welcomed thousands of guests to explore the mountains, rivers, and fjords of Voss and Fjord Norway.

    A big milestone arrived. We moved into the former Avisa Hordaland newspaper building, sitting right along the shores of Vangsvatnet in Voss. More than just a new address, this was the foundation we had always dreamed of.
