COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Oslo Gardermoen Airport to Hemsedal
Oslo Airport to Hemsedal offers different itineraries by date. Hemsedal lists a seasonal VY51 airport transfer, while the rail alternative travels through Oslo to Gol and continues by bus into the valley. A train ticket to Gol is only the valley part of the journey. Hemsedal centre, the ski centre and hillside cabins have different last-mile requirements. Compare a direct coach departure with the whole rail-and-bus chain and a private transfer to your specific address.
Specify Hemsedal village, the ski-centre lodge or a cabin address. A stop on the valley road may still need an uphill taxi.

Explore the Hemsedal resort guide →
Hemsedal’s ski centre lies outside the village and offers terrain across several mountain peaks. Lodges beside the lower lifts provide a different arrival from valley accommodation or hillside cabins. A coach to Hemsedal centre may therefore need a local ski-centre connection. Choose where lessons and rental collection happen before reserving transport.
Which ski area should you choose?
Lower ski centre
Children’s areas, lodges and main service base.
Upper peaks
Longer marked outings with weather-dependent lift access.
Valley accommodation
Local ski transport may be needed for each day on the mountain.
Piste difficulty: The main children’s learning area is at the bottom of the ski system, while upper terrain offers intermediate and steeper outings. Weather can affect high lifts, and a summit trip needs an appropriate marked return route. Freestyle features and off-piste terrain are separate from beginner piste planning.
After the transfer: Specify Hemsedal village, the ski-centre lodge or a cabin address. A stop on the valley road may still need an uphill taxi.
