Hemsedal, Norway’s second-largest ski resort, offers 51 slopes and skiing from three mountain peaks, catering to all levels of skier and boarders. Families enjoy the children’s area and gentle green slopes, while advanced skiers can tackle off-piste runs and challenging terrain parks. With ski-in/ski-out accommodations, excellent ski schools, and vibrant après-ski options, Hemsedal is perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The resort’s long season and breathtaking mountain views make it a top choice for skiing holidays. Nearby, Kvitfjell adds even more variety with a combined lift pass.

Good views, quite close to Oslo and good for offpiste if you know where to look! Be aware of avalanche terrain! World class apres ski, and good possibilities for backcountry skiing in the area!

Unfortunately some slopes were closed and mostly greens! A few more black slopes would be beneficial for the expert skiers. Lovely scenery and the people are so friendly! Loved the experience overall
