Private grupper
Are you looking for a customized adventure for yourself or your crew? Maybe you want shorter days more focused on learning, or perhaps a full weekend bagging peaks? We will bring your dream trip to life containing anything from hiking, wilderness skills and rock climbing, to ski touring and avalanche awareness.
Corporate Groups
In a company there is often a range of skill level and physical fitness within the employees. One way of solving this can be dividing into smaller groups and adapting the level of ambition to the individual group's wishes and skills. No one wants to be the weakest link in a large group, and if you are fit and experienced, you want to get the most out of your day.
"Employees at PwC Bergen have wanted to establish a ski touring group for a long time. Based on the great guiding by WildVoss over Raundalsryggen in the spring of 2021, I contacted Øystein and made a request to arrange a ski touring course for PwC. Wild Voss was very accommodating and created a tailor-made program with accommodation at Scandic Voss and ski touring trips to both Skreieggi and Øyastølsfjellet with integrated learning elements about, among other things: avalanche safety, buddy rescue and trip planning.
The course was well planned and Wild Voss provided knowledgeable, professional and educational instructors. There were 23 very satisfied participants who went home after the course with increased knowledge of the factors necessary to plan and carry out a safe ski touring trip in the mountains.
As the person responsible for the event from PwC, it has been a pleasure to deal with Wild Voss both before and after the course. I can highly recommend them to others."
- Torstein Bøhm, Senior Manager PwC Bergen.
How we organize a group trip:
First we will have a chat about the group's wishes, skill level, desired time frame, current tours offered, physical level and more. Then we make an assessment of what we can offer - often in collaboration with other companies in Voss. We will send you a non-binding offer before we agree on a final plan, set dates and agree on a price. Our instructors and guides follow the group from arrival to departure, and are prepared to solve challenges that arise along the way.
Trips that motivate and build relations
Here are some examples of tours and courses that can suit different groups.
Ski Touring Weekend
It is important that all participants return home from a ski touring weekend with good, shared memories and strengthened unity. To achieve this we put a lot of effort into planning the ski touring weekend well with enough staff making it possible to divide into smaller groups with adapted trip plans.
Near Voss you can find varied ski terrain with anything from lush forests, to alpine mountains with fjord views.The divided groups may follow different routes, but are all exploring the same area, allowing us to start and end the tour at the same location.
We can organize ski touring weekends for up to 30 people with 5 to 6 NF-certified avalanche instructors as guides. If necessary, we organize accommodation and equipment rental. We cooperate with several hotels near Voss.
Snowshoeing & bonfire experience
Do you prefer a winter experience without skis on your feet? Snowshoes make it possible to walk in the winter forest, even if the snow is both deep and loose. Few places are as peaceful and atmospheric as a forest with snow-covered trees!
This tour is suitable for most people, regardless of hiking experience and physical fitness. The leisurely pace makes it easy to have good conversations along the way. The campfire is an atmospheric gathering point where we get toasty even on the the coldest days.
A snowshoe tour at Hanguren takes around 3 to 5 hours and includes a trip with the Voss Gondola. A perfect afternoon trip combined with for example a work meeting.
Hike & Climb
Climbing is suitable for everyone! Just outside of Voss are the climbing cliffs at Staup. Here you can find climbing challenges that are suitable for both beginners and experienced climbers.
We will rig top ropes and provide climbing equipment for up to 20 participants. NF-certified climbing instructors are responsible for securing the climbers. Over the course of 3-4 hours, everyone gets to experience challenges and a sense of achievement on the steep cliff walls. At the campfire site below the climbing cliffs, we will offer simple food and drink.
If the group is large, we have the option of taking half the group hiking while the other half climbs. Guides from Wild Voss will lead the hike up to Svartahorgi (1037), which is just a few kilometers away from the climbing cliffs at Staup. This means that everyone starts and ends the day at the same place. We are happy to organize shared transport to and from Voss.
Custom Ski Touring Course
Our popular 20-hour ski touring course is a basic avalanche course that is suitable for those who are interested in learning how to plan and carry out ski tours of their own.
The Voss mountains are snow secure, and our guides use their local knowledge to choose the areas where we can expect the best snow conditions.
Over the span of two days ski touring you will practice buddy rescue, learn how to recognize avalanche terrain, as well as how to identify danger signs and how to read the avalanche forecast.
Our NF-certified avalanche instructors ensure that the course is carried out according to the group's level and goals. We have tailored ski touring courses to couples, families and corporate groups of up to 25 people.
We are happy to organize accommodation if necessary. We cooperate with several hotels near Voss.
Mini Navigation Course
The best hiking experiences are often made off the beaten (marked) path, where you have to navigate on your own.
In order to do this you have to be able to read a map and use a compass. On this three-hour course you will get a short, practical overview of the most important skills.
We take the Voss Gondola up to the top of Hanguren. Here we embark on a circular 5-6 kilometer long hike where we learn key navigation skills. Everyone gets to try out both maps and compasses in the mountain terrain that is well suited for this type of course.
You don't need to be particularly fit to participate, but good footwear is a good idea. This mini-course can be expanded into a more eventful day course.
We also offer group prices on our pre-planned trips. To see our selection make a search in our trip calendar below.
