Discover Voss
Norway's hidden gem for conscious travellers
With Norway's Sognefjorden, Hardangerfjorden and Nærøyfjorden within easy reach, the charming village of Voss offers a true off-the-beaten-path experience. Surrounded by unspoiled nature, this stunning region invites conscious travellers to see the icebergs from Lønahorgi, the Bordalsgjelet gorge and Tvindefossen waterfall. And there's many more hidden gems around when you open yourself to local culture and sustainable adventures!
Embrace the spirit of "Friluftsliv"
For Norwegians the concept of outdoor living is truly a way of life, all year round. When you explore Voss's stunning landscapes, you'll quickly understand why. Lush forests and crystal-clear lakes welcome you, perfect for hiking and kayaking. And what about those powdery slopes in winter! Scandinavians are a profound believer that being in nature enhances our wellbeing and restores balance.
Connect with local heritage
Voss is well known as the 'sports village', but don't miss out on the opportunity to have a peak into its Viking history. At the Folk Museum Njadarheimr local guides share stories of traditional Norwegian life over the last 500 years. And don't forget that staying in family-run guesthouses and hotels let's you experience authentic hospitality. An important benefit being, that you'd be supporting the community directly!
Participate in the slow food-tradition
As Norway is mostly unpolluted with a colder climate its land is ideal for slow growing vegetables, fruit and berries without the extensive use of pesticides. Sheep, cows and goats graze in outlying pastures. And of course the extensive fjords and coastline give Norway a rich seafood heritage. So do indulge in farm-to-table cuisine at local restaurants, and visit the vibrant farmers' market. You'll be supporting local producers, and get rewarded with the most amazing artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and freshly baked bread!
Voss combines nature, heritage and local interaction!
There are many reasons to fall in love with Voss. The diversity of the landscape makes this region very attractive, as it is equally beautiful all year round. So let this enchanting corner of Norway inspire you, connect with nature and the local community, whilst creating memories that last a lifetime!
