This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Voss Municipality, Voss Municipality, Hordaland, Western Norway
Voss is a municipality in Vestland county. The administrative center is the village of Vossevangen. Voss is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and fast-flowing whitewater rivers. This has led to its development as a notable center of skiing, watersport, skydiving, paragliding and other adventure sports. Every year in the last week of June the area hosts the Ekstremsportveko (Extreme Sports Week), which is regarded as the world's premier extreme sport festival. Bømoen, the local airstrip, is home to Skydive Voss, one of the largest dropzones in Norway, as well as a gliding club. The rivers provide various levels of white water, attracting kayaking, rafting and river boarding. Kite surfing and para-bungee may be seen on lake Vangsvatnet. The ski area, to the north of the town, is accessible via a cable car, Voss Gondol.

The village sits at a high point in the inner part of the Nærøydal valley which leads northeastwards towards the Nærøyfjorden. The highway runs through a series of tunnels to descend into the valley, but in the summer months we drive the old road Stalheimskleivi that was built in 1850 and can still be used with its hairpin turns and 20% grade. The Stalheimsfossen waterfall is the most notable sight in the area and the view from Stalheim hotel is well-known from several paintings.

This was one of our favorite and most memorable excursions. Paal was a great guide. He was professional, but also very personable, insightful, fun, and had a great sense of humor. He went out of his way to provide the most popular and significant sights, a historical perspective, as well as his own personal experiences and insights. He encouraged questions, gave clear directions and was always present and available throughout the various transitions of the tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed this full day tour and were able to see and do much more with the help of our guide, Daniel, than we could have ever done on our own. Although it is expensive, it is worth it if you only have a short time in Bergen and want to see and do as much as possible.
