Alpin Lodge and Apartments, Hemsedal, Norway

· ski-in location at the base of the slopes · 10m to lifts and ski school meeting point · ski rental and storage within the hotel · 2km to town centre

The Alpin Lodge is in perfect position in Hemsedal - just steps from the lifts and ski school meeting place, right at the base of the slopes, so you can ski back to the door.

The studios are ideal for couples and small families, but those after a bit more space should go for the two-bedroom apartment - they come complete with private sauna, lounge and full kitchen.

There’s a supermarket within the building but, for those who don’t fancy cooking, there’s also a newly renovated restaurant. You can upgrade your board basis to add on breakfast or dinner (we recommend adding dinner for people staying in a type B studio) and there’s even a coffee shop and bar for après drinks.

Twin room with twin beds and double sofa bed (sleeps 1 adult or 2 children); kitchenette with microwave-oven, fridge, dishwasher, kettle and coffee-maker; and bathroom with shower, sink and WC. We recommend including dinner with your stay as the kitchenette is limited.

Type G Apartment - sleeps 1-8: Three-bedroom apartment. Master bedroom with twin beds, second and third bedrooms both with Norwegian bunks (double bed below and single bed on top - each room sleeps 3 people in total); large lounge area with gas fireplace; kitchen with oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher; and two bathrooms with shower, sink and WC - one with a private sauna as well.

Austrian twin beds
Austrian twin beds are very common in most of Europe. They’re simply one large bed frame containing two single mattresses, both with separate duvets and linen sets, that cannot be separated. Separate twin beds are less common and can often be head to head beds, rather than side by side, if they are available.

Please note: Only the beds will be made up in the Type B Studio room. Customers will have to make up the double sofa bed themselves using the linen provided.

· optional upgrade for breakfast - simple hot and cold buffet breakfast served in the restaurant · optional upgrade for dinner - two-course evening meals · optional upgrade to half board with breakfast and evening meals · optional upgrade to include gala dinners
