Even though Voss is a small town on a Norwegian scale, it is the adventure capital of Norway. For years the whole destination has worked towards one goal: giving guests a wide range of activities and experiences.
Voss is known for many things: great skiing, extreme sports (read about Ekstremsportveko in our guide to events at Voss), a surprisingly large number of Olympic medals, stunning nature and a unique culture – and not least delicious traditional food, which you can read about in our cultural guide to Voss.
Voss also works hard for sustainable tourism, and has been awarded the label "Sustainable Destination". It is visited by people from all over the world, and is a favourite holiday place for Norwegians too. Come and experience Voss!
