Getting to Hemsedal
Three hours from Oslo, four from Bergen, and the steepest skiing within reach of either.
Book your flight. We do the rest. We are here, on the mountain — transfer, keys, lift pass and the answer to whatever comes up at four o'clock on a Saturday afternoon.

Tell us when your flight lands and we will send you straight to the people who sell it, with your time already filled in. We do not resell transport — you book it where it is cheapest, and we make sure you are looking at the right departure.
Morning departures out of Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh all land in Oslo before lunch. An evening flight saves nothing once you have paid for the taxi at the far end.
Norwegian train tickets go on sale about three months ahead. Book earlier than that and the journey planner will show the connection but not the fare.

Vy transfer bus VY51 runs Oslo Airport – Gol – Ulsåk – Hemsedal Center – Fýri Resort – SkiStar Lodge Hemsedal, Sundays only , two departures each way. Journey about 3 h 30 min. Booking required at least 24 hours ahead.
Not sure which to take?
Send us your flight and we will tell you what we would do ourselves — including when the answer is the train and not a car. We book the accommodation; the transport you book direct, and you keep the difference.

Getting around once you are here
Free for everyone , no ticket and no booking. Two routes: the village centre to the ski resort, and Tuv – Ulsåk – Holdeskaret for the mountain hotels.
The best weeks are the last ones
March and the first half of April are the finest skiing of the year up here. The days are long, the sun is on the slopes instead of behind the trees, the snow base is at its deepest after a full winter of cold, and the queues from February half-term have gone home.
It is also when the ski charters stop. The seasonal flights into Scandinavian Mountains end on 13 March. Oslo Gardermoen runs all year, from every major European city — so the best weeks of the season are reached the same way you would reach Oslo on any other weekend.
Build the trip you want
Hemsedal and Geilo are both on the Bergen Line, so a week can start at one and finish at the other without a car — or run Oslo to Bergen with skiing in the middle.
- Geilo
- the next stop down the Hallingdal valley
- Bergen
- 280 km — the fjords at the far end of the line
A charter sells you one resort, one week, one flight home. Flying into a real airport means you can split the week, add two nights in a city, or ski two mountains and let us move you between them. Tell us what you want the week to look like and we will put it together.
Arrival days
Saturday arrival at all lodges, several also take Friday. Sunday is the big changeover day. Hotel rooms can be booked for any day.
