When the ski day ends,
the next adventure begins
Classic après-ski with full energy
The Norwegian ledgend within aprés ski. You hear it before you see it. The bass shaking the floor. The crowd roaring along to the chorus. The lights hitting the wooden beams as dancers take over the stage.
Stavkroa isn’t just après-ski. It’s a show.
This is where seasonnaires, party people, celebrities and everyone who wants to be seen end up. The place everyone talks about the next morning.
Many also recognise Stavkroa from the Troll 2 film, where the venue had its own iconic moment. But in real life, the atmosphere is even wilder.
Massive light shows. DJs and artists. Dancers on stage. People on tables. Full energy from the first track to the final singalong.
Perfect for:
- Anyone who loves high-energy nights
- Groups looking for more than just après-ski
- People who enjoy a place with attitude
Typical vibe: Lasers overhead. Arms in the air. Nobody standing still.
One of the true hearts of après-ski in Hemsedal. Expect DJs, live music, loud singalongs and packed dance floors from the moment people click out of their skis.
Perfect for:
- Groups keeping the energy going after the slopes
- People who never say no to “one more round”
- Anyone who likes their après-ski loud and lively
Typical vibe: Ski boots on. Sunglasses off. Hands in the air.
Live bands, singalongs and serious après-ski energy. Throughout the season, Swedish live bands take over the stage every week — and often during weekdays in the holidays too. That’s when the place fills up with people singing at the top of their lungs, dancing on tables and refusing to call it a night.
Perfect for:
- Groups of friends
- Anyone chasing classic Scandinavian après-ski
- Long ski days that turn into even longer evenings
Typical vibe: Live music. Beers in the air. Tables turning into dance floors.
Après-ski with a slightly calmer pulse
Après-ski with a view — and not just any view.
Every Saturday, Skarsnuten turns up the atmosphere with DJs, flowing drinks and people staying far longer than planned. When the spring sun arrives, the party moves outside onto the terrace overlooking all of Hemsedal.
A little more lounge. A little more cocktails. But still plenty of energy once the afternoon kicks in.
Perfect for:
- Groups mixing mountain life with good times
- Anyone who loves sunny terrace après-ski
- People who appreciate views as much as atmosphere
Typical vibe:
DJ in the background. Sun on your face. Drink in hand. Hemsedal below you.
At Skigaarden, après-ski happens naturally. Lunch slowly turns into DJ sets, people stay for another round, the mood builds — and suddenly someone’s dancing on a table.
This is relaxed luxury with great flow. Nice tunes, good drinks and people enjoying mountain life between ski runs. Less wild than the loudest après-ski spots, but lively enough to keep things interesting.
Perfect for:
- Couples and groups of friends
- Anyone wanting a more relaxed après-ski atmosphere
- Long lunches that develop into evenings
Typical vibe:
Sunglasses indoors. DJs hitting the perfect soundtrack. A table that suddenly starts dancing.
For those swapping full-on après-ski chaos for lounge vibes, cocktails and slower evenings. At Fyri, it’s all about good music, warm fires and long conversations after a day outside.
Perfect for:
- Couples
- Food and wine lovers
- Friends looking for a softer landing after the slopes
Typical vibe:
Cocktail in hand. Wool jumper on. Sunset over the mountains.
Après-ski without the stress. Pizza on the table, drinks flowing and cheeks still red from the cold outside. Relaxed, welcoming and very Hemsedal.
Perfect for:
- Families
- Big groups with mixed ages
- Anyone wanting atmosphere without nightclub energy
Typical vibe:
Warm lighting. Happy people. Stories from the slopes around every table.
Spring skiing and sunny terrace sessions
When the spring sun hits Hemsedal, the party moves outdoors. Terraces fill with people in down vests, ski goggles and huge smiles.
This is Hemsedal at its absolute best:
Music echoing through the mountains. Cold drinks on the tables. Skis stacked outside. Nobody in a hurry.
Tips for the perfect après-ski day
- Book tables early during weekends and holidays
- Go straight from the slopes — that’s part of the charm
- Dress in layers. Après-ski in Hemsedal often starts outside
- Don’t miss the last bus or taxi home
