Hemsedal

Hemsedal, often called 'The Scandinavian Alps', is Norway's most alpine-feeling resort. It boasts 53 runs and steep terrain, while maintaining a strong family-first philosophy. The resort offers an Alps-like experience without the higher prices typically found in the European Alps.

Hemsedal is accessible via a 3-hour drive from Oslo.

The resort features well-groomed runs that weave through picturesque birch forests. Its north-facing aspect ensures cold, dry snow conditions throughout the day, providing excellent skiing for intermediates.

Beginners will find ideal conditions in the Fjellheisen beginner area. This zone offers gentle terrain and convenient magic carpets, perfect for those just starting out.

Advanced skiers seeking a challenge should head to the Hamaren area. This section features genuinely steep terrain, including tight chutes and exciting cliff drops.

For vibrant après-ski, the Stavkroa is a must-visit. This unique bar is designed in the style of a medieval stave church, offering a memorable post-ski experience.

Hemsedal is part of SkiStar, a multi-resort pass system. This allows access to other resorts like Åre, Trysil, and Sälen with a single pass, offering multi-resort options.
