The only sounds around you are the rush of wind against the glider and the subtle beeps of the variometer, signaling your climb in rising air.
Maybe it's a warm thermal lifting you higher, or perhaps it's the wind accelerating up the mountainside—either way, you've found the energy, converting altitude into distance. Ahead lies a fjord to cross, the final stretch before home. Or maybe, just maybe, you flip the glider upside down. Why not? Different thrill, same machine.
Gliding is as versatile as the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Voss, attracting pilots of all kinds—adventurers, competitors, and those simply seeking the pure joy of soaring. Whether you're here to push your limits or enjoy the camaraderie of fellow aviators, the sky is yours to explore.

Gliding in Voss
Gliding has been a part of the landscape in Voss since 1958, and the dramatic terrain of Western Norway makes it a world-class location for soaring. And when we say Western Norway, we really mean it—Voss is not just an incredible place to glide; it’s a launchpad for extraordinary cross-country flights.
From here, pilots have covered distances approaching 1,000 km, taking full advantage of the unique combination of thermals, ridge lift, and powerful mountain waves. This rare mix of soaring conditions makes Voss one of the finest gliding sites in the world—comparable to renowned locations like New Zealand and Chile.
Our home base is at Bømoen, with our hangars located at the west end of the runway. When we're flying, our ground operations shift to the east end of the runway, ensuring smooth takeoffs and landings.
Whether you're here to challenge your limits or simply take in the breathtaking scenery from above, Voss is the place to experience the magic of soaring!
