    Picture
    One of our biggest investments for the DZ this year is this climbing tower. It was previously located in Lom and is know throughout the country. We have now acquired and put it up at Bømoen and it is finally ready for use. Perfect activity during weather holds.

    It's still a work-in-progress project, and the area will improve continously over the coming period. At the moment we have 10 routes fixed. Members of Skydive Voss and Voss Klatrarlag can pay 200,- NOK for free access to the tower for the rest of the year. Gear is not included and can be rented at the reception for 50,- NOK pr hour / 100,- NOK pr day (for 2 persons). 

    To be able to belay we require Bratt card, or similar. We are planning to arrange courses for leading and belaying, pay attention to our Facebook pages for further info. Our webpage will also be updated with a separate section for the climbing area.

    PictureGrete Viste
    Skydive Voss are happy to announce our new head of skydiving for Extreme sports week 2016, Grete Viste. She has been in the sport since her AFF-course in Voss in 2011. A year ago Grete moved from Stavanger to become a fulltime "Vossing"! Through the season of 2015 Grete has been wearing a lot of different hats; as a receptionist, an I3, organising Voss Gloss + the student boogie, and she sits on the clubs board. With her bubbly personality she contributes to a friendly environment at our drop zone. I`m sure we`ll never forget the day she tried flying wingsuit for the first time :)
