Rent ski poles in Hemsedal by the day or week. Lightweight aluminium and carbon options to suit all skiing styles.
Hemsedal is Norway's most alpine-feeling resort, with steep terrain and great snow.
Hemsedal has 55 km of pistes and reaches 1,497m at Totten peak — the 'Scandinavian Alps' nickname comes from the surprisingly steep black runs like Tindeløyper and Roni. The altitude is low by Alpine standards but the 60°N latitude keeps snow dry and cold well into April.
Renting ski equipment in Hemsedal is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer ski poles rental perfectly tuned for Hemsedal's terrain — all levels level, 55 km of pistes at up to 1450m.
Hemsedal's après scene is distinctly Norwegian — skidtoget (ski-in-ski-out base bars) operate under strict closing times, and most socialising happens at post-ski sauna sessions rather than at bars.
Typical daily ski poles rental in Hemsedal costs NOK280–NOK500. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
Night skiing runs Tuesday through Saturday until 9pm on 14 floodlit runs — the low sun from 3pm onwards in December means the lights come on while the mountain is still open naturally, giving you two consecutive ski sessions on one ticket.
