Hemsedal

Hi
Has anyone been to this resort?

It looks to have a good mix of ability ski slopes.

What is the apres ski like?

Your feedback on this resort, hints & tips would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

AFIK the apres is pretty good but hellishly expensive. (Make sure you take your duty free allowance) Last time I was in Norway it was over £5 for a beer (5 years ago) and a bottle of spirits was over £40 and that wasn't in a ski resort.
According to my brother who lives in Stavanger it's not as rowdy as it used to be (the youth of Norway finds it cheaper to head for the Alps) because the resort has been actively making it more family friendly - much of the accommodation insist that the person making the booking is over 25 to minimise all lads groups.

It's got a long season but isn't up there with the likes of the 3 Valleys or Portes Du Soleil in terms of size. English is widely spoken and people are friendly.

Thanks Andy
Sounds that it may be too expensive for the four of us, especially from the Apres Ski and eating aspect.
Shame as the piste map looked great.
