Voss Youth Hostel

Voss is the perfect spot for everyone who’s interested in sports and activities. There is something for everyone’s taste!

The varied mountain terrain around Voss makes it an excellent base for walks and mountain hikes. There are plenty of lakes and rivers for fishing, and good terrain for cycling and golfing. The more adventurous can try out parachuting, paragliding, rafting, river boarding and river paddling. During the yearly event Ekstremsportveko (the Extreme Sport Week) there are competitions in skydiving, BASE, rafting, kayaking, climbing and much more. Winter season lasts from December to April. There are very good alpine skiing facilities with11 lifts and 14 runs. Voss also hosts several well-known cultural events like the Voss Jazz Festival, the Osa Festival and the Rural Life Festival.

The hostel is beautifully situated by the lake Vangsvatnet, 700 m from the train and bus station in Voss. You can rent canoes, kayaks and bikes at the hostel – they even have their own sauna!
