SkiStar is offering 20% off selected hotel rooms for December and January arrivals, with bookings open until 15 November 2026. The White Week promotion covers properties in Sweden and Norway, giving travellers a reason to compare the mountains as carefully as the accommodation.
The official campaign terms apply to new bookings made from 10 to 15 November, subject to the rooms included. The code WHITEWEEK2026 filters eligible accommodation. Other accommodation discounts cannot be combined with the offer, and SkiStar Lodge Lindvallen has an additional limit: stays up to and including week 51.
What is included in the hotel offer?
The participating list names SkiStar Lodge Hemsedal, SkiStar Lodge Trysil, SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället and SkiStar Lodge Lindvallen, alongside Hovde Hotell in Vemdalen, Radisson in Trysil and Tott Hotell in Åre. This is an accommodation promotion; the announcement does not promise 20% off ski passes or the entire holiday.
For a useful comparison, put the room price alongside travel, ski passes, equipment and lessons. A discount at a convenient property can be worthwhile, but the best choice still depends on the terrain your group wants and how easily everyone can reach it.
Hemsedal: three peaks and a long descent
In Norway, Hemsedal’s official ski-area guide describes skiing from three peaks, with terrain ranging from 620 to 1,450 metres above sea level. Its longest descent runs for 6 km from the top to the bottom of the system. That gives the destination an appeal beyond a short hotel break: there is room to build a day around sustained skiing.
The Lodge Express lift starts at SkiStar Lodge, while the children’s area sits at the bottom of the ski system near the lodges. SkiStar also describes a ski bus between most accommodation areas. For families, those practical connections can matter as much as the room itself, particularly when lessons and different ability levels split the group.
Hemsedal’s broader offer includes a terrain park and cross-country skiing. Choose the resort because its mountain experience fits the trip, then use the promotion to compare suitable rooms. Do not assume that an early-season booking guarantees access to the full mountain.
Trysil: a mountain with four connected areas
Trysil, also in Norway, is presented by SkiStar as the country’s largest ski resort. Its published overview lists 71 slopes and 41 lifts across four connected ski areas, with both open terrain above the tree line and runs through the forest.
The area guide gives a more useful sense of the differences. Turistsenteret combines skiing with shops, rentals, restaurants and activity areas. Skihytta occupies the southern side of Trysilfjellet and has blue and red slopes, an express lift and a children’s area.
For a mixed group, that variety creates a choice of daily routines. Some may value being close to lessons and services; others may prefer a particular side of the mountain. Compare the precise property and its access, rather than treating every hotel carrying the destination name as equivalent.
Sälen: family facilities beyond the slopes
In Sweden, Sälen brings together Lindvallen, Hundfjället, Högfjället and Tandådalen under one ski pass. SkiStar’s overview lists 101 slopes and 105 lifts across the destination. These are the scale of the overall operation, not a statement that every lift will be running on your dates.
Lindvallen has a large area for children and beginners, along with a pool, spa, bowling and restaurants. Hundfjället offers slopes of different difficulties and the Trollskogen attraction. These details help explain the region’s family focus: a holiday can include more than repeated laps of the same piste.
For parties with younger children or non-skiing companions, the balance of activities may be decisive. Check which facilities are included in the room price and which require a separate payment before comparing the final cost.
What this means for your trip
Use the White Week dates as a booking deadline, then check eligibility for your exact property, room and arrival. The accommodation should support the skiing you want, whether that means Hemsedal’s longer descent, Trysil’s connected mountain areas or Sälen’s family facilities.
Before committing, compare the total holiday budget and review the cancellation and opening conditions. If your dates are flexible, compare more than one eligible stay. The strongest saving is a suitable trip at a lower total cost, rather than a headline percentage on a room that does not fit the holiday.
