Skiing in Norway
Started by User in Scandinavia, 2 Replies
We skied Hemsedal in February. Great little resort. Based around one centre, so good for meeting up if you want to ski different pistes (or if you did what my daughter did which is ski the wrong piste....). Full trip report will follow.

Trysil is also worth checking out - piste map looks like you'll get a greater feel of "travel" than at Hemsedal.

I seem to recall that many of the chalets in LDA are slightly out of town - could be wrong on this one. Lots of hotels v central and close to beginner slopes.
Thanks, bedrock Barney. Mrs loves those hand warmers.
We (a family of four) are off to Hemsedal in late Feb. We will be armed with a couple of bottles of spirits and plenty of layers of clothing.

Anything else to take?

Anything in particular to do or avoid when there?

I have read Bedrock Barney's great TR and have got some tips already.

Cheers

Risoul has one - don't know when it's open (the air bag, not the resort)

I empathise with you. I am a bloke who has to buy women's sals because I have short legs. Size 14, I am! I was not called Toddy Legs at school for nothing. I end up buying a new pair just about every time I go so I just buy a crappy pair from Mountain Warehouse or similar

Snapzzz, I will spend the first day of my next holiday hoping that my daughter takes it easy so that I can keep up with her. No chance.
