HEMSEDAL

Hemsedal, or the Scandinavian Alps as it’s often referred to, is one of Norway’s best family-friendly ski areas. Lifts rise out of the base station to points across the three peaks and lead down the 53 pistes, which vary from greens, blues, reds and a few particularly vicious blacks. Solheisen is 12kms from Hemsedal and well worth a day or even an afternoon, this is included in a Hemsedal ski pass.

Duncan's Ideal day in Hemsedal

The Skistar Lodge offers true ski in ski out convenience. I tend to jump on to Fjellreven poma lift as it takes you a little higher than the other lifts. A quick slide down to the Holvin Express 8 person chair. Heading up top Roni and a couple of laps on the 3 man chair taking either the red or blue back down. Then I head over to the summit of Tinden. Here there are some glorious reds back down to the Tindenheisen quad chair. The highest point at Totten is worth a visit - don't be put off by the T bar or green run down - I add this to the new piste 49 and green 52 that ends up by Fyri resort - over 5kms of continuous carving! After coffee and cake it's time to hit the blacks and are cut out of the forest.
