Hemsedal - Reviews & Ratings

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

Really enjoyed staying - lots of beginner and intermediate pistes and enough explore but not huge. Good food and accommodation too.

Second time we have visited Hemsedal. Really beautiful area and great accomodation. The area is very suitable for beginners and families with young children. The accomodations have the scandinavian feel to it. I can imagine for the experienced rider it is a bit small.

Stunning scenery, huge amount of snow making activity late November to early December to guarantee a long season. Fantastic accomodation, saunas everywhere. Afterski (apres ski) starts from 2pm, it's dark at 3:30 in December. Reasonable number of slopes, the main blue might be considered red in the alps. Great for a week's family skiing and has challenging slopes for those that want them. If you like to rack up the miles, you'll do the same runs several times. The sun doesn't hit the slopes until February!

Lived in Hemsedal for 4 years and can honestly say some of the best powder days off piste of my life. True mountain wilderness and wonderful Scandinavian cabins, with crazy weekend nightlife and a really cool attitude to mountain sports.

Hemsedal is a fantastic snow sure resort. Plenty of options to keep your day on the slopes interesting. Eating out and having a drink can feel expensive but the quality of food is usually excellent. Highly recommend.

Good off piste options when conditions allow. Cold dry snow. Apre ski is ok but cant compare to the Alps.
