The ski season runs from November to early May, with floodlights keeping the slopes open after early sunsets. Summer brings longer days and balmy evenings.
Getting there
Planes
International flights touch down in Oslo or Bergen. From Oslo, it’s a three-hour drive to Hemsedal, and Bergen is four hours away.
Trains
Rail routes connect Oslo (three hours) or Bergen (four hours) with Gol, from where it’s a 40-minute transfer to the centre of Hemsedal.
Automobiles
In winter, shuttle services run frequently between town and the slopes, but transport options are limited in summer, so renting a car is your best bet.
