Norway

Located in the heart of Fjord Norway, Voss, the largest ski area in the West, offers fantastic skiing experiences for both experienced and novice skiers, passionate mountaineers and cross–country enthusiasts alike – and with an average of 540 cm of snow per year, you are guaranteed a perfect white setting for your skiing experience.

There's plenty of room to roam, more than 40km of well–groomed alpine slopes covering every level of difficulty from gentle hills for the less experienced to SuperG and international large slalom areas for those who want more speed and excitement.

The terrain park can give family adventurers a real adrenaline rush as they tackle rails, kickers and big jumps, and the little ones can romp around Voss' children's areas – and maybe be lucky enough to meet the local troll Grebbe Hangur.

With 18 kilometres of family–friendly cross–country ski trails, there's also plenty of opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of the forest or the wide open spaces as the day's family outing takes you over the high mountains.
