Well I've never been there myself but I do know someone at work who has been to Norway and said it was quite expensive, I'll try and get more information from him and come back to tell you just how much tomorrow afternoon.

Prices about £5 a pint dont know if that is expensive as I live in Ireland, not far off the norm here!
Great skiing if lacking the miles of piste found in the alps.
Enjoy

Guys,
Just for the record - we went on Thursday and drove from up from Oslo. Skied Friday, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday and headed back.
Snow was wonderful!
Not as dear as I had expected, nor as cold. Hot chocolate £2; bottled beer £4, Grilled chicken breast with guacomole and salsa, £12. Coldest experienced was -6 centigrade, but windchill would have been a major feature up at the mountain top.
Stayed at the Fossheim hotel a couple of km down the valley - very comfortable. Would recommed the Oxen bar and restaurant at the ski hill and Peppe's pizza in Hemsedal itself. Apent Bar was the dearest place we visited, but a good vibe. Also worth a visit is the Skarsnuten hotel up on the mountain itself. On a good day, the view must be absolutely spectacular.
Definitely would consider it again for a long weekend, might ski it out in 3 or 4 days at full tilt.
Cheers,
CW

Been a couple of years back I think it was about €8 at the bar at the end of the slope, back in town more like €6. Part of the problem with norway when i went was that I was going for pints at 5pm and so wrecked by 11pm. This was at the point that the bars were only filling up, so take the advice from someone who didn't; pace yourself.
Oh and the skiing is boring.
So aside from expensive pints, rock hard snow, dull scenery and boring skiing the place is great.
That said the Norwegians were very nice people and were the only other nationality I have met who can be astonishly drunk yet friendly in public.

Scatty Ratty, now you have decided against Norway, you may still like to know that 10+ years ago, a small beer and a glass of wine cost £9. And the skiing wasn't that great by all accounts

65 Crowns, which translates to around 6 quid for 0.4 liter.... says one of my norwegian friends
