Welcome
Historic Boutique Hotel, situated close to Jotunheimen National Park
Røisheim – a Historic Boutique Hotel, situated close to Jotunheimen National Park and about 15 minutes drive from Lom. Røisheim has a long tradition both as a refuge for travellers between the western and eastern Norway as well as the natural base for mountaineers.
Røisheim consists of altogether 14 buildings in a farmyard from the 1700s –creating a unique atmosphere. Røisheim has a long tradition of taking care of the discerning, adventurous mountain tourist – whether they want to climb the peaks of Jotunheimen, or seek the atmosphere and renowned kitchen of the old, protected coaching house. It is not difficult to understand why famous artists like Grieg, Ibsen, Thaulow, and Munthe fell in love with this place as early as a hundred years ago.

After 150 years as a coaching station and hotel, Røisheim is still among the most unique small hotels Norway has to offer. Tar painted houses in a lush landscape, and rooms restored with piety.

But Røisheim is still a love that attracts people just by being itself – of cultural historic origins.
