Voss Overview
Voss is an area with a good snow record, benefitting from an average of 540cm of snow per year with the ski season running from December through to April. There are also snow cannons that ensure snow in parts of the resort throughout the season. Voss is mainly an alpine skiing area with runs ranging from very easy to World Cup standard. It is also a charming village with a long and strong skiing history. You’ll find everything you need within walking distance. Right in the centre is the gondola, which takes you straight up the mountain. The gondola gives you the opportunity to travel “green” in less than nine minutes. Your accommodation benefits from a variety of great in-house options and there are some fantastic activities to enjoy – see ‘Après Ski’ tab for further details.
