Build an itinerary based on what interests you

Sitting in the Bøverdalen valley roughly five hours northwest of Oslo by train and regional bus via Otta, Lom is built around a twelfth-century stave church and a roaring glacial river. The settlement serves as the supply post for Jotunheimen National Park, anchored by a famous wood-fired bakery and timber farm buildings. Lom is worth visiting if you want high-altitude mountain hiking, wood-craft history, and exceptional sourdough baking. Look elsewhere if you want late-night bars, broad shopping streets, or reliable sun.

What to do in Lom Innlandet Norway

Lom revolves around the wooden spire of Lomskyrkja and the turquoise surge of the Bøvra river. Mornings start with thick coffee and warm cardamom rolls before boots hit the trail toward Jotunheimen. It is a working alpine crossroads, geared toward hikers, drivers on the Sognefjellet pass, and anyone who appreciates timber engineering and sturdy Nordic cooking.
