Voss, Mountain district municipality in Western Norway.
Voss is a municipality in Vestland in Western Norway featuring mountains, valleys, lakes, and the central settlement of Vossevangen. The landscape combines steep peaks with green valleys and numerous water bodies.
German bombing in April 1940 heavily damaged the town, destroying many buildings in the center. This attack marked the place and required extensive reconstruction efforts in the decades that followed.
The Voss Folk Museum displays regional heritage through traditional Norwegian architecture, crafts, and everyday objects from centuries past. Visitors can see how people in this mountain region lived and worked in their daily lives.
Voss railway station connects the area to Bergen and Oslo through regular train services. The location is therefore easily accessible from major Norwegian cities, making travel planning straightforward.
An annual Extreme Sports Week takes place each June, featuring skydiving, paragliding, rafting, and mountain biking competitions. The event uses the natural setting of mountains and rivers for these high-adrenaline activities.
