Winter Activities

Winter Activities in Hemsedal

Your winter in the Scandinavian Alps

Ski-in, ski-out onto some of the longest runs in the Scandinavian Alps, then trade the slopes for a dog sled, a torchlit sleigh ride, or a night sledding under headlamps.

A mountain built for winter

Ski from Totten, Roni, and Tinden, with an 810-meter drop right outside the door. Hemsedal’s high peaks mean the season runs long, and the days are filled with ski touring, dog sledding, and sleigh rides. Tell us what you’re after and we’ll help you book it.

Frequently asked Questions

Everything you need to know about winter at Fýri, from ski rental and lift passes to making the most of the season in Hemsedal.

Is there somewhere to store my skis and boots?

Yes, there are ski lockers by the lift. We also have a dedicated ski locker room in our Sports Club at Rambler, where you can safely store your equipment. You can use your room key to access your own private ski locker, which is included with your stay. One ski locker is provided per room.

Can I bring my dog?

Your dog is more than welcome at Fýri! We have a selection of dog-friendly hotel rooms where you can stay with your dog. An additional fee of NOK 400 per night applies.

How far is Fýri from Oslo and Bergen?

Around three hours from Oslo and four from Bergen.

Are the slopes good for beginners and families?

Yes, we have a dedicated children’s area in the ski resort. The lift from Fýri takes you directly to the children’s area, making it easy and convenient for families with children. The area offers a range of family-friendly activities and dining options, making it a great choice for a fun day on the slopes.

Is the Pool Club open in winter?

Yes. The Pool Club is open year-round, with 35°C water and a heated outdoor pool, ideal after a day on the slopes.

What winter activities are there besides skiing?

Plenty: ski touring, dog sledding, sleigh rides, sledding, snowmobiling, ice skating, and indoor climbing.

How long is the ski season in Hemsedal?

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.

Can I rent ski equipment, and do you arrange lift passes?

Yes to both. You can rent skis on site, alpine or cross-country, and we’ll sort your lift pass and anything else you need for the day.

Is Fýri really ski-in, ski-out?

Yes. Fýri is located right by the slopes, with our own ski lift taking you directly from the hotel to the ski area. We also have the Centrum Run, which usually opens later in the season and allows you to ski directly from the ski area back to Fýri.
