Voss is located one hour by train from Bergen
Just over an hour from Bergen you will find the charming village Voss. Internationally known for the bottled water with the same name, but in Norway perhaps best known for all the action sports, the local dish “smalahove” (sheeps head) and the Olympic freestyle skier Kari Traa.
Voss is definitely the place to go to make your dream of skydiving or white water rafting come true. Or if you are just looking for a place to stop between Oslo and Bergen.
In winter, Voss is a great place for skiing whether you prefer cross country skiing or downhill. If you do like the locals in Bergen, you take the train from Bergen to Voss and right there at the train station you’ll find the cable car that will take you to the top of the slopes.
During the summer, white water rafting is popular for the whole family and so is the wind tunnel at VossVind.

Just outside the city center you will find Voss Climbing and Zipline Park in beautiful surroundings by the Stranda River. The park has 60 different elements and all trails end with a quite airy zipline, the highest being about 14 meters above the ground. The longest zipline is 70 meters, so you’ll have plenty of time to get over the initial fright and just enjoy the flying feeling! The park is popular for children, who get a great sense of achievement, teenagers who want to do something cool, and adults who just want to play. (And get that great feeling of achievements just like the kids!)

If you want to park your car and take a day trip from Voss, you can join Norway Active on one of their round trips to the Sognefjord. Here you can combine a fjord tour with rafting or kayaking in the beautiful Aurlandsfjord and you can see all the tours from Voss further down on this page.
Voss city center is called Vossevangen or just Vangen amongst locals. Vangen is compact and it's easy to find your way around. The city center is located next to a beautiful big lake and surrounded by high mountains. There are several shops, restaurants, a couple of hotels and a Tourist Information.
If you drive from Oslo to Bergen, Voss is a nice place to stop along the way. If you are travelling in the summer and the weather is nice, take a well-deserved break, find a towel in the boot of your car and head down to the lake for a nice refreshing swim! We can guarantee that your senses will sharpen and you’ll be ready for the last part of the drive to Bergen.
