Visitor Reviews of Hemsedal

Henki Sven Hyborg from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Hemsedal is more steep and dangerous than you think fellas! The slopes are good for family and all that, but if you get too far from the slopes to find powder snow, be carefull. Me and two mates was caught on a mountain side... Huge drops everywhere. We had to be picked up by a helicopter as it got to dangerous. Ask the skipatrol before going off pisting! The mountains are majestic and dangerous. Please take my advice. 2 people have died the last two seasons by avalanches.

Anyway, Hemsedal is a terrific place. It is offering top quality skiing both on and outside the marked slopes. The nightlife is tremendous and not to miss. Especially the afterski at hemsedal cafe in the city. Also, I recommend going between February and the end of April. End of February to end of March is the prime time. Excellent snow and shining sun!
