Snow can arrive as early as November in Hemsedal, but the ski resort usually opens in early December. The exact opening date depends largely on natural snowfall and temperatures. We have a long ski season, with the resort usually closing in early May. Even after it closes, there are still plenty of opportunities for ski touring and backcountry skiing in the surrounding mountains.
Cross-country skiing can also be available early in the season. Gravset Ski Stadium, just 15 minutes from Fýri, has snowmaking facilities, so you can get out on the trails early even when natural snow is limited. There are also cross-country trails starting right from Fýri, making it easy to head into the mountains straight from the hotel.
