Voss sightseeing is highly influenced by its nature, as most of the activities revolve around it. The mountains nearby are no exception, providing with enough snow to enjoy skiing. You can actually do that at one of the two alpine ski resorts, Voss Resort or Myrkdalen Mountain Resort.

The mountainous terrain is also great for hiking, as it is a popular activity in the area as well. From trails along the Bordalsgjelet Gorge to the ones leading to Bakkanosi, there are plenty of paths to choose from in locations all over the village.

The Bakkanosi hike is actually exceptional in its stunning views from atop the mountain. Upon reaching the highest part, the breathtakingly beautiful sights of Sognefjord and Naeroyfjord open up. By the way, did you know that the latter one is acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage site?

Another great way to explore the mountains during Voss travel is biking, however, if you want to witness the beauty of the region from a different perspective, make sure to try out skydiving or paragliding.
