Toppturer i Hemsedal | Ski Touring in Hemsedal

Toppturer i Hemsedal is a guidebook to ski touring in Hemsedal, Norway.

Hemsedal is Norway's number 1 ski resort, and the best part is neither the ski lifts nor the cross-country trails, but all the peaks you can reach by going up under your own power. In Toppturer i Hemsedal, guide Jørgen Aamot shows the way to 42 peaks and more than 100 descents at the top of Hallingdalen.

The mountain village of Hemsedal, where east meets west in Norway, has everything a ski enthusiast could want, and this book reveals the secrets. Here you will find everything from beginner-friendly tours in easy terrain to steep snow chutes reserved for experts.

Classics like Nibbi and Svarthetta are thoroughly covered, but you will also find tips for lesser-known mountains that usually have few tracks. In addition to the summit hikes, the book presents the three-day hike Hemsedalsruta.

Ski Touring in Hemsedal shows the hiking opportunities in the ski resort in a way that has never been done before, with the routes drawn on overview images and hiking maps. All routes have terrain classification, making it easy to choose a trip according to weather and snow conditions, skills and ambition level.

The book features beautiful ski photos from photographers who have Hemsedal as their ski area. Toppturer i Hemsedal also contains exciting retrospectives on past ski trips in a mountain village where skiing has been central to both play and work for centuries.
