Arrival on Fridays and Saturdays

Start off your ski week early by arriving on the Friday or Saturday and enjoy skiing from Saturday or Sunday morning onwards.

For those who want to start their skiing holiday on Friday or Saturday, there are plenty of accommodation options to choose from in all our skiing destinations.

If you want modern and comfortable accommodation close to skiing, restaurants, shopping and other activities, the SkiStar Lodge concept is worth a closer look. The lodges can be found in Hemsedal, Sälen (Hundfjället and Lindvallen), Trysil and Vemdalen, the latter two being brand new members of the SkiStar Lodge family. More about SkiStar Lodge.

Why change on Friday or Saturday?

There are many advantages to starting your holiday on Friday or Saturday. As Sunday is a big swap and travel day, it's usually a bit quieter in the ski area and you can get out and about a bit more. Then, the journey to your skiing holiday will be a calmer experience as traffic speeds are usually lower – that's a bonus.

When you're back home, it's nice to be able to sleep in on Sunday and then have the whole day to unpack, do some laundry and get organised before the work and school day begins.

Ski school at the weekend?

Of course you can get started already during the weekend! Friday-Sunday there are both group ski school weekends and private lessons to choose from.
