During the Extreme Sports Week, Voss is the place to be if you're interested in rafting, skydiving, base jumping, kayaking, climbing, paragliding, hanggliding, kiting... (well, you get the picture..;o) The Extreme Sports Week takes place annually at Voss, about one hour's train ride from Bergen - in 2008 from June 22nd to 29th.
There are national and international competitions, and for the inexperienced it's possible to try some of the more or less nerve-wracking activities. It's not all about the sports though - there are concerts, shows and parties throughout the week. Leave a Comment

Brann is a football team with long, proud traditions - the club was founded in 1908, and won its very first trophy in 1923.
Brann has played in Norway's premier league every season since 1987 - before that the club had its ups & downs... ;o)
Brann Stadium was opened in 1919, and has a maximum capacity of around 17800. On average ca 16700 extremely enthusiastic supporters come to watch the home games - but it can be very difficult to get tickets for important matches. The stadium has recently been renovated, but all stands were finished and ready for use in 2007.
Brann had a very good season in 2004, finished third in the league - and won the cup final...!! (In 2005 the team finished in 6th place...) Unfortunately Brann hasn't won the Norwegian premier league since 1963 - but THIS year I'm absolutely SURE it's going to happen again...!;o)
So, let's sing: Byen e' Beeeeeeergen og lage' e' Brann.... ;o) Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingAddress: Idrettsveien 47, MindeDirections: A few km to the south of Bergen city centre. Bus no 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 from the bus station. Or if you're walking to Brann Stadion on a match day, just follow the crowds of supporters, dressed in red...;o)Website: http://www.brann.no/index.php?mapping=10

If you want to ride horses (or ponnies) while in Bergen you can contact the local ridingschool - Epona Rideklubb.
I ride there myself, and I recomend it!

Brann Bergen is the local football club. No, I did not went to see any football while here but it was somehow fun to have a drink in the pub while all of the fans are gathering around and singing some football songs. If anyone is interested, please submit your private e-mail, I will send you .avi clips of them ;-) Leave a Comment

If you happen to be lucky enough to stay in Bergen when it's snowy (it rains almost all the time in winter, doesn't it ;)) it's time to head up on Floyen for some skiing. The tracks are really not that good for "serious" skiing, but surely good enough for anyone who tries to learn cross-counrty skiing. It's great fun!!
Equipment for nordic skiing (shoes, sticks and skis). Leave a Comment Theme: Skiing/SnowboardingAddress: FloyenDirections: Get up to Floyen and follow the signs. There is a small walk from the funicular station.
