"Picturesque mountain views are par for the course with ski-in/ski-out ski resorts, and in this regard Skarsnuten Hotel passes the test with spades. Norway’s second-largest ski resort, Hemsedal’s meticulously groomed trails take you through forests and valleys and ultimately drop you at Skarsnuten Spa, where the facilities alone—ice bath, sauna, foot bath, hot tub—may be enough to replenish you after a day covering the Norwegian terrain. But if you’ve made it this far to partake in the adrenaline-inducing vertical sport, you really ought to go for the Mountain Foot Treatment: feet are soaked in a magnesium-enriched tub, scrubbed and massaged, bringing circulation back to barking dogs. Head and hands aren’t left in the cold either, since a tingling scalp and hand massage are a part of the 45-minute service."
