Voss

Western Norway: Towns | Holidays | Attractions | Accommodation

Voss and its surrounding area is seen by many as the perfect balance between a thriving modern town and tradtional living. Set in the middle of Fjord Country about 50 miles west of Bergen, Voss is on the main Bergen to Oslo railway line and easily reached as part of a motoring holiday between the east and west coast.

The town lies on the waters edge with the lake and river forming a central part of the acitvities available in the area. Rafting and river sports can be found at Voss Rafting Senter or for the more adventurous you can join an organised sea kayakking tour to see the majestic waterfalls and mountains of the Sognefjord. In addition to the myriad of opportunites to go hiking, Voss has a high quality golf course and there is also bowling, tennis and even skydiving.

Voss is also a great centre for winter sports with alpine slopes accessible directly from the town centre by cable car. A new ski centre has aslo been built at nearby Myrkdalen. [link]

See take a glance at life in and around the town of Voss, Svein Ulvund's web site - Voss Now - contains a gigantic collection of photographs of the town and countryside taken and published daily. This is a site I visit on a regular basis when I want my "dose" of Norwegian life! A site well worth adding to you favourites.
