At the kick off, there will be presentations and information about Hemsedal, happenings for seasonal worker and serving of snacks and drinks. This is a social gathering that will be followed by a classic "Bransjekveld" (seasonal staff party) at 10 pm at Elgen.

Participation in the week is FREE for employees. There might be a fee for some activities and of course you have to pay for your restaurant visits. But there will be great discounts and some activities are free. See program below for more info.

Importent info
The registration entitles you to a Hemsedalsviku wristband, that gives you a discount at the restaurants and access to all activities that take place during the week. To get a discount at the restaurants, it is important that you have your band on you and that you say you come from Hemsedalsviku and at some restaurants they want you to book a table in advance. Without a band, you cannot participate in activities and do not receive discounts. You'll get the wristband at Stavkroa or at the Tourist office.

This week is a unique opportunity for you as a seasonal employee in Hemsedal to get to know other seasonal staff, other companies in Hemsedal as well as get to know the village you will live in during the winter season and hopefully even longer.

In order to create a fantastic experience for our guests, it is important that we who work and meet the guests can help them in the best possible way. During "viku", you will get to know Hemsedal and many of our offerings.

We who love Hemsedal know that life is too short to sit inside. When the powder alarm goes off, the sun shines and the mountains entice - then everything else is unimportant. Then we meet in Hemsedal
