In our opinion, the accessible off-piste is its biggest trump card, especially if you’re new to ungroomed skiing - the forgiving terrain helps to build confidence, and it’s easy to nip back onto the pistes when you need a break.

Relatively compact, learners love it here too, as you can ski on a continuous green run from the highest point to the base area. All slopes lead down to the same point, where there’s a kids’ zone and dedicated learning area - perfect for beginners to gain confidence. For more slopes (that are noticeably quiet), your lift pass also includes nearby Solheisen.

Off the slopes, the Mountain Village is relatively quiet on weekdays. The après bars and clubs tend to come to life on the weekends when you can expect live music and dancing at several spots, as well as a vibrant atmosphere in the restaurants.

"If you’re an early-intermediate looking to stretch your legs on more challenging terrain, I'd choose Hemsedal every time. Plus, the great range of slope-side accommodation means you really can maximise your ski time."

A great size resort for a weeks skiing, good mix of slopes too cover all abilities. Really enjoyed the wide slopes, the different lifts to get you to all areas to ski, and the longer journeys that could be done too.

Great destination for intermediate skiers. Snow on piste was great. Limited number of runs but perfect for 5-6 days skiing. Accommodation and food was exceptional

Excellent, very good resort, away from main ski slope but within a very short distance. It was convenient to be near the ski hire shop and also the hotel was very welcoming and cosy. I would definitely consider coming to this resort again.

We had an excellent few days over new year at Hemsedal. Loved the resort, only downside was a number of the upper pistes were closed due to weather conditions.

Hemsedal was amazing. The slopes were challenging and great. My husband and I are both intermediate skiers and we loved the long green and blue slopes. It took us almost half an hour to get from the top to the bottom of the slopes. It's more challenging at the top and then you earn some great easy rides below. My two sons are more advanced skiers and they found the slopes fun and could combine mor…
