The shores of Lake Vangsvatnet allow you to indulge in a slower pace of life…

…or, just yards away, something a little faster.

I would have liked to have given both a go, but our time in Voss had come to an end.  We had to catch the train to Bergen on Norway’s west coast.

In the meantime, I cannot recommend Voss highly enough.  It has everything for my sort of trip:

• Regular train services linking it to Oslo and Bergen, on one of the world’s most beautiful lines
• Easy access to the fjords
• Fleischer’s Hotel with its enormous character and history
• Beautiful countryside with its mountains, lakes, gorges and tarns
• Skydiving, both indoor and outdoor, as well as paragliding and all sorts of other adventure sports
• Skiing in the winter, with ski school

What’s not to like?!?  See you again, Voss, but farewell for now!

Date of Visit:  20-23 July 2014
