Huso Lodge & Cottages: your secluded Hemsedal winter oasis
Hemsedal is a popular winter destination for alpine skiing, both on and off the slopes. Just 17 km from Hemsedal Ski Centre, Huso Lodge provides a tranquil haven amidst picturesque surroundings, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded ski resort. Venturing outside the cottage immerses one in the quiet and stillness of unspoiled wilderness.
Welcome to Huso Lodge – your winter oasis.
Five reasons to stay at Huso.
Secluded in nature
A mountain farm behind its skigard fence, 800 metres above sea level.
What we grow, catch and preserve here, cooked by our chef at your table — or delivered as a box for you to cook yourself.
Outdoor hot tub & sauna
Warm up under the open sky after a day on the mountain.
Trails from the door
Groomed cross-country tracks begin a hundred metres from the houses.
17 km to the slopes
Hemsedal Ski Centre is a 20min drive from the door.
Cross-country and backcountry skiing
Cross-country skiing has been a part of winter life in Norway since the Middle Ages and is unsurprisingly the national sport. We Norwegians love our long cross-country ski tours, taking in nature’s beauty and making such scenic adventures cosy with good food, drinks, and treats.
Our cottages are just two steps from Hemsedal’s top cross-country ski tracks. And for you to fully embody the Norwegian skiing experience, we provide a “cosy” tour backpack and guide – handy for both beginners and veterans. No ski equipment? No problem. We got you covered, with skis, boots and poles available for rent on-site.
Downhill skiing
Located just 17 km from Huso Lodge, Hemsedal Ski Centre has 47 slopes and 22 lifts across three peaks. The resort offers uninterrupted skiing for 6 km and slopes suitable for all skill levels. The resort also has off-piste skiing in the forest and on the mountainsides. There’s a reason people from across the world hail to this little ski mecca. The route from Huso Lodge to the slopes offers stunning views, and perfect end-cap for a memorable day on these unforgettable slopes.
Dog-sledding
It’s not every day you can trust 6 husky hounds with your life! But if you embrace the opportunity to go dog-sledding through our extensive forests and lakes, it will certainly leave you invigorated.
At Huso Lodge, we are fortunate to bring this exhilarating experience to our guests. Exploring the unknown – in nature or within ourselves – is always an adventure we rarely regret. But don’t take our word for it. We encourage you to see for yourself! Great for families, couples, friends and colleagues.
Take the plunge
Hot, cold, hot, cold. Wait, what? Our cottages are equipped to awaken your senses in every sense of the word. Our outdoor spa activities feature wood-fired barrel saunas and hot tubs just steps from frozen lakes, out of which we carve ice holes to inspire you to take “the” plunge. Cold water immersion, especially in cycles with saunas and/or after active days outdoors reduces inflammation, improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and enhances sleep quality. Best part? No pills required.
Huso Sled Mountain
Need a down day? How about a family play day on sleds racing “down” Huso’s Sled Mountain? Unless “down” means relaxing with scenic valley views and a warm cup of coffee as you watch your kids whizz down the hill again and again and again instead. Good news, both are possible and strongly encouraged. Nothing beats good old-fashioned, quality family time. Huso Lodge offers a variety of sleds for our guests to enjoy – whatever your speed may be.
Wood stoves for “hyttekos”
After active days of re-awakening, reinvigoration, and re-discovery of nature’s joys, returning to cosy Norwegian “hyttekos” warmth is a retreat in and of itself. Our cottages come equipped with wood stoves and ambient fireplaces, making holiday evenings a unique opportunity to slow down and unwind. Cook a home-cooked meal from scratch in our community-style kitchens or talk the night away around the fire. Do what you fancy to rest and relax, and don’t worry about running out of firewood. Trees fall naturally every year – the cycle of life – and we make sure no fallen tree goes to waste. Firewood is complimentary, and we will happily replenish it.
