Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

R32, Thanks! Sounds a nice place! My Norwegian is non-existent, so it's good to know everyone speaks English, and I do not mind that the skiing is not extensive, as I'd only go for a few days. I'll keep in mind the price of wine (but luckily I can't drink much more than a glass!). I have an old friend who lives in Voss, so I may combine it with a visit. Fleischer's Hotel is with Ingham's--glad to hear it's near the lifts. Would love to see some pics!

i've been a couple of years ago., stayed at the fleichers, food great, skiing very very quiet, i think they have a couple of new lifts from 2005 when i went. only down side is beer prices, second mortgage needed. fleischers hotel buffet very nice. and they have english tv all the time, seem to remember watching a star wars film in the hotel, which was novel. don't expect huge apres ski stuuf though, but having said that, i saw 10 of the most drunk people i've ever seen on the saturday night, the norweigans know how to party!
if you get chance take the train, either back to bergen to go home, or the other way to mykdal, its spectacular - http://home.online.no/~sulvund/Voss_Now/

Not been to Voss but went to Geilo. Echo the other posts. Biggest downside cost of alcohol is prohibitive, so much so that bars were empty most of the time.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

JONR, Thanks for that link, lovely photos there too. Fleischer's Hotel sounds good, how long is the walk to the lifts? Can one leave skis in lockers on mountain or at lifts? Colin B, I'd go for the skiing and visit to friends --so wouldn't mind the non-drinking aspect at all

You know it makes sense.

fleischers is the station hotel. you have to walk over a railway bridge and up a hill for about 300 metres. gondola goes from there up to top of hanguren ski slope. its ok, not too strenuous. we left our boots, bags and kit in top gondola station, no lockers, but not needed, people in norway don't steal other peoples shoes! that was one of the nice parts of going, was a very safe and friendly place. not much to eat on the mountain for lunch, its kind of a hotdog and fries place for £7 or so, but evening buffet in hotel makes up for that
its not a big resort at all but it does have a certain charm

Mrs RH (a Wiking) is over in Norway at the moment, will let you know about Voss in particular when she gets back. Norway in general is in general, beautiful, friendly, expensive (or is that just the women!!!!) The skiing is not a challenging as the alps, they ski on hills not mountains, no I dont know what that means either. You will get a warm welcome from the locals who will put us to shame with their second language.
Will post next week.
Have fun.
