Nestled in the lush Bøverdalen valley, Røisheim hotel is more than just a place to stay – it is a living chronicle of Norwegian mountain history. Originally a 17th-century farmstead, it evolved into a vital coaching inn by 1858, serving as the final threshold before the wild expanse of Jotunheimen. Its weathered timber walls have hosted the pioneers of mountaineering, including William Cecil Slingsby, as well as cultural icons like Edvard Grieg and Henrik Ibsen, who drew inspiration from the dramatic landscapes.
Today, Røisheim remains a protected cultural treasure, where time seems to slow down. The traditional “tun” layout and meticulously preserved interiors offer a rare glimpse into a bygone era, now paired with exquisite local Gastronomy. Whether you are returning from the heights of Galdhøpiggen or seeking the quiet rustle of the birch trees, Røisheim offers a sanctuary of warmth and history.
