Snowshoes allow you to wander easily through deep snow and enjoy the winter landscape. If you are the playful type, you’ll cherish the opportunity to play around in the snow, dig a cave, slide down small cliffs, climb trees or follow grouse tracks. 

Tour description

You meet up with your guide outside Tre Brør Kafé and Bar near Voss town square. Your guide will help you gear up with proper clothes and snowshoeing equipment. We use the gondola to reach the starting point of the snowshoeing trip, at the very top of mount Hanguren. The Gondola trip is a great ride in a comfortable cabin with a panoramic view of Voss and the surrounding mountains. Stepping off the Voss Gondola, you find yourself within reach of some really lovely mountain terrain with excellent views of the area.

This trip is a good way for you to get a real winter experience without using skis. This is a non-technical and family-friendly experience in the snow. During a typical day out, your guide will make sure you learn basic skills for safe travel in winter, introduce you to both nature and local culture and make sure you feel comfortable at all times. 

At the lunch spot for the day, we build a bonfire and enjoy hot drinks and a bite to eat. We use the heat of the flames to prepare our meal. Here’s an opportunity for you to learn what it takes to make a bonfire of your own. If the weather is bad, we’ll all join forces and build an improvised shelter to keep us dry and out of the wind. You'll find that the time spent around the bonfire provides a good opportunity for contemplation and leaving the civilized world behind for a few moments.

We return to the town center by the gondola after the trip.
