Things to do in Voss
With nature that varies from deep valleys and fast-flowing rivers to snow-capped mountain peaks and thunderous waterfalls, Voss is a thrill-seeker paradise. It is no wonder that it has earned itself the title of the adventure capital of Norway. Feel the adrenaline rush as you paddle down one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in Europe, go hiking or mountain biking in the forest, or skydive from 4,000 metres above the ground. There's plenty to do in winter too as with alpine slopes and cross-country skiing tracks that are suitable for the whole family. While here don't forget to try some traditional Norwegian cuisine and visit the Voss Folk Museum to learn about daily life in the area from 1500 to 1927. Voss is also know for hosting some special yearly events such as Ekstremsportveko, the world’s largest extreme sports festival, as well as the popular Vossa Jazz music festival.
