Voss is a fully functioning town with the great outdoors as its lifeblood,

which makes staying here much more of a lively experience than at some of Norway’s other major ski resorts. It is also very easy to get to and from Bergen, especially following completion of the Hangursbanen 3S gondola as you can now hop off the train from Bergen and straight on to the ski lift. The network of pistes is fairly compact, but there is something for all abilities and the touring possibilities are limitless – hire a guide to experience the mountains around Voss to their fullest. Nearby Myrkdalen is linked by regular bus services and is well worth a visit if you’re coming here for more than a few days.

Pros and cons

A great weekend destination from the UK and very easy to access
Compact ski area that is excellent for first timers in particular
Spectacular fjords and scenery can be found at every turn

Prone to long spells of bad weather
Local ski area limited for keener skiers – make sure you also go to Myrkdalen.
Food and drink is expensive in Norway

On the Slopes

The local slopes are extremely varied despite its size – for example the main high-speed quad has top to bottom green, blue, red and black runs. Many of these are floodlit to help through the winter and to add in the attraction of night skiing to the Voss armoury. Despite this, the area is best suited to beginners, who will love the dedicated children’s learning area and the shelter provided by the tree-lined slopes. Access to the slopes from the heart of town has been drastically improved this year by the new 3S gondola.

Although there are some challenging slopes, especially pistes 6 and 19, keen intermediates upwards will find the extent of the area somewhat limited. But this is mitigated by the vast ski touring potential of the region and the short distance to nearby Myrkdalen – where another 30km of slopes are available, accessed by two fast 6-seater chairlifts.

In the Resort

The town of Voss has a permanent population of more than 14,000 people and it has a great buzz to it, even in winter – summer is definitely high season here.
Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants can be found in the town centre, and although Norway is expensive you’re paying regular prices here rather than inflated ski resort prices. At weekends in particular the après ski at the foot of the slopes can become lively.
There are some bigger hotels in town as well as a good deal of self-catered cabins on the slopes next to the quad chairlift. Now the new gondola is open, staying in town is as convenient as staying on the slopes. Off the slopes there is huge network of cross country trails and you can even try indoor skydiving at Vossvind.

Season Dates

Opens: Saturday 30 November 2024 (TBC)

Snow Overview

Scandinavia

Updated 29/04

The penultimate snow overview for Scandinavia sees the forecast period open with mild conditions across many southern and central areas, with bouts of rain in places. Things turn colder, especially across the central highlands where excellent snowfall comes in to close out the week; around 10cm on Friday with flurries continuing into the weekend as the temperature falls further. Wind speeds will pick up over this period, so expect wind to be moved around on the ground.

Further north, Finnish Lapland starts the period cool, but temperatures rise throughout this week; precipitation falls as rain mostly, although this may change as the new week begins.

Conditions along the Atlantic seaboard remain excellent, with, after a brief mild patch through the back end of this week, the weekend bringing steady snowfall and excellent conditions.
