How to get from Oslo to Hemsedal?

1. BUS FROM OSLO TO HEMSEDAL. This option is convenient for those who plan to get directly from the city itself (Oslo Bus Terminal). The ticket price is about 57 dollars, and you will spend 3 and a half hours on the way. It is more problematic if you want to take a bus from the airport. Thus, $ 19 must be added to the cost of the trip, and the travel time will increase by another 50 minutes. In addition, you still have to travel with large luggage, which is sometimes problematic in public transport. Do not forget, when choosing public transport, you depend on its schedule. The bus leaves every 30 minutes, but delays and unforeseen situations also happen. In general, the bus is quite cheap, but not the most convenient way to get from Oslo or the airport to Hemsedal.

2. TRAIN OSLO – HEMSEDAL. On the train, you have to travel 4 hours and 36 minutes. This option is inexpensive ($37 ticket), but not without features. We explain what to consider if you plan to get from Gardermoen to Hemsedal by train. Firstly, the train leaves from the Oslo railway station, which means that you will have to get to the city center by bus ($19) or taxi (at least $90). Another unpleasant thing is that you can’t get to the center of Hemsedal, where hotels and ski slopes are located by train. You will be dropped off at the Gol stasjon stop, from which you can’t get there on foot, which means you again need to spend money on a taxi or bus. Thus, if you opted for the train from Oslo to Hemsedal, be prepared to make 2 changes and spend time waiting for public transport. Keep in mind that during snowfalls, trains in Norway may change their schedule.

3. CAR. Everything is simpler and more convenient here: you will spend a little less than 3 hours on the road and will not depend on the public transport schedule. However, its rental will not be cheap: the cost of renting the most modest car per day starts from $60, but that’s not all: you will have to pay for insurance, if you need a chain, also plan for gas expenses. If you want to rent a car in Gardermoen, take care of it in advance, because upon arrival you may simply not find a free car! Remember that car rental companies may have questions about your national driver’s license, so make sure it matches the international standard.

4. TAXI OR PERSONAL TRANSFER. The most convenient and hassle-free way to get from Oslo to Hemsedal. If you are arriving from the airport, the driver will meet you with a name sign, help you with oversized luggage and take you comfortably to Hemsedal. This is not only convenient, but also safe: after all, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is better to limit as much as possible all contacts that increase exponentially in public transport. Our drivers undergo daily express tests, and after each passenger, the car interior is treated with antiseptics. If you are traveling with a child, we will provide a child seat or booster. Another nice bonus is that in case of a flight delay, we will wait for you free of charge. The price of a private transfer from Gardermoen to Hemsedal starts from $550.
