Hemsedal has many beautiful hiking tours for all levels. The hikes are well marked and signed and you can buy a very good hiking map for Hemsedal were you have all hiking paths. One of the tours we recommend is Veslehodn 1300 masl. Veslehodn is a spectacular hike with great scenery and heights. The trip can be combined with a trip to Hydnefossen that has a waterfall of 140 meters, or visit the older brother Storehodn 1482 masl. Velsehodn is a trip for the whole family or for the more active persons. The trip takes about 5 hours up and down and is a total 4.2 km. Every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 am from 5. of June, there is guided tour to Velsehodn. The starting point is outside of Hemsedal Tourist Office .

Drive from Hemsedal center to Tuv. Approx. 4 km after Tuv, turn to the right at signpost to Lio. After approx. 650 m there is a parkingplace. Walk 50 m and follow the small road to the right. From the marked path. Very easy trip - 125 m vertical and aprox. 1,5 km one way.

From the summit of Ranastongji, there is a fantastic view over Jotunheimen, Hurrungane and the Jostedal glacier. Just behind the summit is a very special canyon that has a shear drop of approx. 600 m. Ranastongji is one of the 20 mountain summits in Hemsedal’s hiking programme, “Top 20 summits”. Distance: 12 km Duration: 6 hrs. Degree of difficulty: Requires endurance
Ranastøngji is very beautiful. The Road to get there is a bit tricky, but it’s totally worth the trouble. There is a toll road of 50kr to get there, but it’s very secluded and on the 2x6,5km walk, we met 8-10 people. The first 4km of the hike is quite easy with good paths along beautiful waterfalls. The last 2,5km is quite tricky with a loose stones everywhere. We did the trip in 6hrs, 4 active hours and 2 hours for breaks. The marking is okay in good weather, but i would not recommend this hike in foggy weather. Visibility needs to be quite good - both in order to find way, but also in order to get the full experience. You need to cross a river, this was no trouble on a sunny day in August, but I imagine it would be a bit tricky during the flom in the spring season.

Storhovda is a very nice hike with a beautiful view towards Skogshorn mountain and Lykkja. Suitable for children and adults. The hike goes through the woods and mainly on a path. The hike is well marked with signs and blue dots on trees and stones. This is an easy hike - approx 240 m vertical and 1,5 km one way. The trip can also be combined with Gjeiteberget and Gravsetasen rundt path. How to get there by car: From the town centre of Hemsedal, drive 4 km to Ulsak (direction Gol) and take to the left to Lykkja. Park at Gravset, where you see a sign with Storhovda on the left hand side of the road.
