Skistar Vacation Club Hemsedal Alpin Lodge

The Resort and Its Setting

Skistar Vacation Club Hemsedal Alpin Lodge is located at Skiheisvegen 1, in the Hemsedal valley — the stretch of Norwegian mountain terrain best known across Scandinavia for skiing. As an independent resort with RCI affiliation, it isn't part of a global hotel chain; it's owned and run through its own structure, with the RCI network layered on top for owners who want to exchange their week. The valley setting means slopes, lifts and hiking trails are close at hand rather than a drive away, and the surrounding area has the equipment rental shops, ski schools and mountain restaurants you'd expect of an established Norwegian ski community.

Hemsedal: What There Is to Do

In winter, Hemsedal's slopes cater to everyone from first-timers to experienced skiers and snowboarders, with the usual supporting cast of instructors, rental outfits and gear shops in the valley. Come summer, the same mountains turn into hiking and mountain-biking territory, with marked trails running through the surrounding peaks — a different pace entirely, and more popular with families and walkers than the winter ski crowd. Oslo is roughly two hours' drive south, so a trip up to the valley can easily be combined with a few days in the capital if you want museums and city life alongside the mountain stay.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Skistar Vacation Club Hemsedal Alpin Lodge and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a branded chain, resale typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before you agree a price with a buyer, ask the resort in writing for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these aren't published figures we can quote here, and they can change, so get them confirmed directly rather than relying on what a previous owner paid. A resale buyer should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week — the usage rights, the RCI affiliation status, and whether any outstanding fees are cleared — before the deal closes.

What Renters Look For

Renters booking a week at Hemsedal are usually planning around one season: skiers want December through March, while hikers and mountain bikers are looking at the summer months. Be clear in your listing about which week or season you're renting, whether the unit sleeps the number your renter needs, and what's included locally — lift access, parking and similar details — so there are no surprises once they arrive.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Oslo Airport (Gardermoen) is the usual arrival point, about 120 km south of Hemsedal, with rental cars or shuttle services covering the rest of the journey. If you're renting a car, an International Driving Permit is worth carrying alongside your home licence. Given the valley's reliance on winter conditions, anyone buying a week here for skiing should check which weeks fall in peak snow season versus shoulder periods, since that affects both usability and resale appeal down the line.
