Voss, Mountain district municipality in Western Norway.

The municipality of Voss covers 1,805 square kilometers of varied terrain, with mountains, valleys, lakes, and the central village of Vossevangen.

During World War II in April 1940, German forces heavily bombed Voss, which led to the destruction of numerous buildings in the town center.

The Voss Folk Museum preserves the regional heritage through exhibitions of traditional Norwegian architecture, crafts, farming equipment, and household items from past centuries.

Voss railway station connects travelers to Bergen and Oslo through regular express services, making the municipality accessible from major Norwegian cities.

The municipality hosts an annual Extreme Sports Week in June, featuring activities such as skydiving, paragliding, rafting, and mountain biking competitions.
