Hikes that will give you goosebumps (in the best way)
We have plenty of fantastic mountain hikes in Hemsedal – and you can find them all in our “Hemsedal” app, available wherever you download your apps.

  • Skogshorn – A classic that never disappoints. The view from the top simply has to be experienced.
  • Harahorn – For those who want the thrill of walking along a ridge up the mountainside.
  • Bjøbergnøse – Short but beautiful. Perfect on a clear autumn day, perhaps combined with a walk towards Bulien.
  • Velsehødn – Combine it with Storehorn for an extra panoramic bonus.
  • Trøimsbotten – A hidden gem. Silence, a river, and a landscape that makes your shoulders drop.
  • Svarthetta – A more challenging hike, but with a view you’ll never forget.

Tip: Bring a bottle of coffee and freshly baked blueberry muffins – you’ll find the blueberries in Hemsedal. Or make dessert right on the hike by bringing some puff pastry or other ready-made dough, freshly picked blueberries, a sugar-and-cinnamon mix, butter, and a camp stove to cook blueberry buns on the spot… heavenly!

The Taste of Autumn

Berry picking, mushroom foraging, and a bit of kitchen creativity are all part of autumn. Hemsedal is bursting with blueberries, cloudberries, and lingonberries. Why not make a lingonberry cake, blueberry muffins, or cloudberry ice cream from your harvest? Nothing tastes better than something you’ve gathered yourself in the mountains.
