Luxury holidays in Hemsedal

Between Bergen and Oslo, Hemsedal is a mountain haven that embraces its rugged peaks and shifting seasons. In winter, the slopes are a playground for skiers and snowboarders; in summer, scenic trails attract cyclists and hikers, and fjord-carved rivers are a lure for anglers. Cosy cabins and wholesome cafés provide comforting pitstops (cinnamon buns, optional) before lively après-ski nights steal the spotlight.

When to go

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.
