Thursdays (day trip) 

Norway is known for its stunning scenery and dramatic fjords and we’d recommend visiting these during your stay. This fantastic day trip allows you to experience both, taking you on a cruise down one of Norway's most iconic fjords, followed by a trip on the Flåm Railway – voted as one of the most scenic train routes in the world. Your day will start with a bus trip from Voss to Gudvangen. Here you’ll jump on one of the electric cruise ships, holding up to 400 people, and slowly make your way down the Nærøyfjord towards the small town of Flåm. The boat trip takes roughly 2 hours, and you’ll be able to soak in all the views, take pictures of the steep mountains and grab a bite to eat from the onboard café. Once docked up in Flåm, you’ll then hop on the Flåm Train for your trip to Myrdal. Both sides of the train offer fantastic views of snow-capped mountains, frozen waterfalls and deep valleys - you’ll even pass through the mountains in the many man-made tunnels. The train ride to Myrdal takes roughly 45 minutes, and once you arrive, you’ll head back to your resort on a train from Myrdal to Voss. 

Wednesdays (1.5 hours)

Are you ready to explore Northern Europe's finest wine cellar? Since 1979, passionate wine enthusiast Jan Bruse Andersen has dedicated himself to building one of the world’s most comprehensive wine collections. Today, you can explore it for yourself at Park Hotel Vossevangen. During your visit, you’ll tour the impressive cellar, dive into its rich history, and discover what makes its award-winning wine list so special. With around 5,600 labels from nearly every corner of the wine world, there’s something here to delight every palate.

Mondays (1.5 hours)

Join the brewery manager for a guided tasting of some of Norway’s finest local beers and ciders, brewed with traditional Kveik yeast. Along the way, you’ll discover the history, processes, and traditions of Norwegian brewing, while sampling a variety of distinctive flavours. If one of the brews truly hits the spot, you can even take a taste of Norway home with you from the onsite shop. 

Please note this excursion is for guests aged 18 and over.

Fridays (1.5 hours)

If you’d like to learn more about the rich history surrounding Voss, we’d recommend a trip to the Folk Museum. The museum has a range of exhibitions that showcase folk art and history, theme days and activity days and guided tours. You’ll also have the chance to visit some of the remaining cluster farms on site. These include Mølstertunet cluster farm, Nesheimtunet cluster farm and Oppheim Old Vicarage. These farms consist of varying buildings that date back to before the viking era. The buildings stand on their original sites and provide an authentic experience on the way of living in old Voss.

Make your trip to Voss truly unforgettable with a magical husky sledding experience in Myrkdalen. Once at the dog camp, you'll learn to "mush" your own sled, setting you up for a fantastic 4-kilometre journey through the Norwegian wilderness. Glide through the winter landscape with your team of dogs, surrounded by stunning views of snowy forests and the frozen Lake Myrkdalsvatnet. Each sled is shared by two people, and adults are welcome to try driving. Remember to bundle up in your warmest clothes—a cosy bonfire and a hot drink will be ready to help you warm up and relax after your adventure.

While the husky sledding takes place in Myrkdalen, getting there from Voss is easy with a ski bus that runs between the two resorts. Catch the bus in the morning, and you can spend a full day in Myrkdalen, giving you plenty of time for both husky sledding and skiing! Then simply catch the bus in the afternoon to head back to your hotel in Voss for dinner.
