Wafflecation in Hemsedal:
Where waffles taste best

Waffles with a view – from top to bottom
Waffles are a Norwegian classic – and in Hemsedal, they’re part of the experience.
In Hemsedal, a waffle is never far away. Whether you’re skiing, cross-country skiing or simply enjoying the sunshine, there’s always a tempting stop nearby.
Here are the places you don’t want to miss.

Waffles in and around the ski resort
You can easily plan a full day of waffle stops – from top to bottom.
Fjellkafeen
Start at the top and enjoy a waffle with panoramic views. The perfect break before heading downhill again.
Skigaarden coffee bar
Right in the middle of the slopes, with a cosy atmosphere and great vibes. Waffles taste even better here.
Slopestyle Kitchen
Next to the park – possibly Hemsedal’s coolest waffle spot. Sit in the sun and watch tricks while you eat.
Skarsnuten hotel
Take the scenic two-seater lift up and land on a terrace overlooking the entire valley. Waffle + view = hard to beat.
Hollvin restaurant & Skistua restaurant
At the base of the resort. The perfect way to round off a day on the slopes.


Waffles for the whole family
Lodgen Spiseri (children’s area)
Here, waffles are taken to a whole new level.
Go classic with brown cheese and jam – or try something more playful:
- Strawberry Non-Stop with soft serve ice cream
- Caramel Fudge with soft serve ice cream
The waffles look as good as they taste – and everyone will find a favourite.

Cross-country + waffles = a perfect match
Some of the best waffle experiences in Hemsedal are the ones you have to work a little for.
And that’s exactly why they taste so good.
Flævasshytta (Holdeskaret)
Located at over 1,000 metres above sea level, right along the cross-country trails.
Here you’ll find freshly made waffles served with brown cheese or jam – just what you need for a well-earned break.
Open on weekends and during holiday periods throughout the winter season.
Solheisen (Grøndalen)
A hidden gem in Grøndalen – and a stop worth the trip in itself.
Waffles here are made using a traditional family recipe.
Jørgen Heie, who runs Solheisen, continues to use his grandmother’s original recipe.
And in the kitchen, Babs is busy baking – serving warm, freshly made waffles just when you need them most.
That might be why they taste a little extra special here.

Not just waffles…
Flatbrødbakeriet at Tuv
Here you won’t find waffles – but you will find lapper (small Norwegian pancakes).
Soft, warm and simply irresistible.
Let’s just say they definitely belong on a wafflecation.

Waffles outdoors – next level
Some of the best waffle moments in Hemsedal don’t happen in a café.
They happen outdoors.
In the mountains. With views in every direction.
And sometimes… over an open fire.
