Myrkdalen is located in the northern part of Voss region, just 30 minutes from the centre. Voss is a well-known destination, primarily due to the Extreme Sports Week, the world's largest festival of its kind. You'll find many activities for the whole family near Voss, from extreme sports to bowling. During the summer, you can join a wide selection of adrenaline-filled activities - jump out of a plane high above the ground, feel the power of nature on a rafting trip, balance from tree to tree in the climbing park, or take a dip in the Vossabadet swimming pool.

Fly like a bird at Voss Vind

On the family trip in Norway, one cannot miss a stop at the wind tunnel in Voss. Here, one can fulfil the dream of flying like Superman and create a memory for life. This is the most weatherproof activity offered in the village – undoubtedly, one of the most unique and exciting! The activity is fun regardless of experience and level, and everyone over five years old can fly.
