The Experience

The tour opens with the hiss of tires on gravel and the brief, cool scent of the Vosso river daring you out of town. Guides meet at the lakeside HQ in Voss, fit you to a full-suspension enduro bike, and lead a compact group onto gravel tracks that quickly narrow into flowy singletrack through Bømoen forest.

Before You Go

Helmet fit and comfort

Even though helmets are provided, bring or request a well-fitted helmet—comfort matters on technical descents.

Hydration and snacks

Carry a 1–2L hydration pack and compact snacks; guides stop but water sources can be cold and sluggish.

Choose the right line

Trails have alternative lines for beginners and experts—ask your guide to point out easier lines before committing.

Weather-ready layers

Mountain weather changes quickly—bring a lightweight waterproof shell and a warm mid-layer for post-ride stops.

Bømoen transformed from a military training area into one of Voss’s most used recreation zones; Voss itself has long been a center for outdoor sports, from skiing to mountain biking.
