What’s new in Hemsedal this winter

For winter 2026/27, snowmaking and the snow guarantee in Hemsedal are being strengthened. With 13 new snow guns and at least 13 guaranteed open slopes, planning your ski holiday will be even more reassuring.

Increased snowmaking capacity

Hemsedal is getting 13 new snow guns for winter 2026/27. This will improve snowmaking and strengthen the work to secure good conditions throughout the winter season.

The investment will help provide more stable conditions on the slopes, especially early in the season and during key holiday periods such as Christmas and New Year.

At least 13 open slopes

The alpine snow guarantee is being expanded, giving you greater reassurance when booking a ski holiday in Hemsedal. From 18 December 2026 up to and including 4 April 2027, we guarantee at least 13 open slopes.

How the snow guarantee works

The snow guarantee means that Hemsedal must have at least 13 open slopes* during the guarantee period. If Hemsedal cannot deliver the promised alpine ski product, you have the right to cancel or interrupt your stay and receive your money back.

This applies until 11:00 on the day after arrival.

You can also choose to change your trip to another SkiStar destination if that suits you better.

What will be refunded

We refund products you have booked through SkiStar, including:

• SkiPass
• Ski rental
• Ski school
• Accommodation
• Cancellation and rebooking protection

*The snow guarantee does not apply when lifts or slopes are temporarily closed due to, for example, technical issues or bad weather.
