From the first plough to full control
Skiing and snowboarding is extra fun when you've mastered the equipment you use, feel the good rhythm in the turns and the flow on the slopes.
Our skilled instructors look forward to teaching you tips and tricks, whether you're a beginner, want to learn carving turns, ski in the powder, go ski mountaineering or want to practise your technique on the giant slalom course.

Locations and meeting points
Voss Resort has two ski school locations:
- Hangurstoppen – located at the top station of the gondola, right beneath Hangurstoppen Restaurant.
- Bavallen – located in Bavallen Skishop, next to the ticket office. This location is ideal if you are arriving by car rather than the gondola.
Please choose your preferred meeting point when booking your lesson online. Both locations offer ski hire so you can collect your equipment before your lesson starts.
We kindly ask you to arrive at least 10 minutes before the lesson begins, or 30 minutes before if you need to rent skis.
